Cricket Deal Direct sponsor Sri Lanka’s Malinga Bandara
The former international cricketer, now with Woodhall Spa, was Gloucestershire’s 2005 Player of the Season as well as representing Kent.
Having made over 40 international appearances for his country, the now SM-equipped Bandara has impressed with his quality batting and honed leg spinning.
The one-day international cricketer and legspinner made his debut against New Zealand in 1998, and in 2005 he secured match figures of eleven for 126 against England ‘A’, securing a test recall. He took four for 31 against South Africa in the final VB Series round robin match at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, in 2006, securing Sri Lanka’s place against Australia in the finals.
Bandara made his ODI debut against New Zealand in 2006, managing fourteen wickets with an average of 23.92, a 29.2 strike rate and an economy rate of 4.9.
“Malinga is an exceptional wicket-taker, and we’re overjoyed that he has joined with us,” says Ian Anderson, Cricket Deal Direct’s managing director, “his numbers speak for themselves – he is one of the best legbreak bowlers around.”
