Profile
Sajeewa de Silva took full advantage of his selection into the
National Side with an exemplary performance in the Test series
versus Pakistan in Colombo. Although, he has not produced a
noteworthy Test contribution since then, he still remains a very
useful one-day cricketer. Not a quickie by Test standards,
Sajeewa relies more on swing and maintaining an excellent line
and length. He has an excellent wicket taking record in ODIs by
employing this tactic to often lull the batsmen into thinking
they can score off him. (Treshad Sosa, November 1997)
