About Ravindra Pushpakumara

Deshabandu Karuppiahyage Ravindra Pushpakumara, or Ravindra Pushpakumara, is a former Sri Lankan cricketer of Tamil - Sinhalese mixed ancestry. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. He was a key member of Sri Lanka's 1996 Cricket World Cup winning team. Having impressed with Sri Lanka's Under-19s side, Pushpakumara made his Test debut in August 1994 against Pakistan, where he was noted as the fastest bowler Sri Lanka had for many years. He made his Twenty20 debut on 17 August 2004, for Nondescripts Cricket Club in the 2004 SLC Twenty20 Tournament. Pushpakumara could be viewed as another fast bowling prospect which failed to live up to expectation from Sri Lanka.
