Wisden overview
Raw and rapid, Prabath Nissanka made an impression on his
captain, Sanath Jayasuriya, by clattering him on the helmet
during a net session. Capable of genuine speed, he has an
upright, uncomplicated action but is prone to spray the ball
around. After an accomplished debut at Sharjah in October
2001, where he picked up two cheap wickets in a comfortable
victory over Pakistan, he was on the wrong end of a two-
pronged hiding from Naved Latif and Inzamam-ul-Haq the next
time the teams met. Injuries, particularly to his knees, have
slowed his development, but he managed to sneak into the Sri
Lankan World Cup squad despite an ordinary VB Series in
Australia. (Andrew Miller)
