Konara Mudiyanselage Chaminda Bandara (born 22 May 1987) is a professional Sri Lankan cricketer.[1] In June 2016, he was added to Sri Lanka's squad for the third Test against England, after Dushmantha Chameera was ruled out through injury.[2]
Bandara is a past pupil of St. Mary's College, Kegalle. He has played for five years in the domestic arena with 51 first-class matches and has taken 141 wickets. He took figures of 9 for 68 in his final first-class game before he represented his national team. The match was played in March against Sri Lanka Army Sports Club.[3] During the AIA Premier League Tournament, in the 2015/16 season, Bandara was the only fast-bowler to feature in the top 15 wicket-takers list. He took 33 wickets from 9 matches at an average of 26.30.[4]
On 2 July 2016 he made his One Day International (ODI) debut for Sri Lanka against England.[5] He conceded 83 runs in ten overs, giving away eleven boundaries. His bowling figures are the worst by a Sri Lanka player on ODI debut. This is also the most by a bowler from a Full-Member side in a 50-over ODI.[6] Sri Lanka lost the match by 133 runs and lost the series 3–0.[7] On 5 July 2016 he made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for Sri Lanka against England.[8]
