Kasun Rajitha is a professional cricketer from Sri Lanka. He was born on September 1, 1993, in Matara, Sri Lanka. Rajitha is a right-arm fast-medium bowler who has represented the Sri Lanka cricket team in international matches.
Rajitha made his international debut in Test cricket against England in 2018. He gained attention for his ability to swing the ball and trouble batsmen with his pace and movement. He had an impressive start to his Test career, picking up a five-wicket haul in his debut match.
In addition to Test cricket, Rajitha has also played in limited-overs formats. He made his One Day International debut against Ireland in 2016 and his Twenty20 International debut against Pakistan in 2017.
Rajitha has been known for his ability to generate bounce and swing the ball both ways, making him a valuable asset in Sri Lanka's bowling attack. However, injuries have hindered his progress, limiting his appearances for the national team.
Despite the setbacks, Rajitha has continued to perform well at the domestic level, representing teams like Colts Cricket Club and Chilaw Marians Cricket Club in domestic competitions.
With his skill and potential, Rajitha remains a promising fast bowler for Sri Lanka, and his performances will be closely watched as he continues to contribute to the national team's bowling unit.
