Wanuja Sahan – a genuine all-rounder in the making

Ever since the conclusion of the Sri Lanka Under-19 team’s tour of England this year, the cricketing fraternity has been observing the progress of Wanuja Sahan, a promising young left-arm spinner who played a crucial role in enabling Sri Lanka to win their maiden Youth Test Series in England.

Wanuja’s cricketing journey began at the tender age of eight. He showed keen interest in the sport during his childhood, playing softball cricket along with his two brothers. As time went by Wanuja was groomed under the watchful eyes of his first coach Ajith Pethangoda, who taught him the basics of cricket during the time he attended Sri Chandrasekara Maha Vidyalaya, Horethuduwa, where he studied up to Grade 8.
