Dushan Vimukthi

Dushan Vimukthi is a proven off-spin bowling all-rounder and one of the standout performers in Sri Lankan domestic cricket. Since making his first-class debut in 2014, he has built a formidable record with both bat and ball, showcasing his class across a variety of formats and conditions.

A seasoned campaigner, Vimukthi has represented a string of top-tier Sri Lankan clubs, including Chilaw Marians, Sebastianites, Saracens, Moors, and the Sri Lanka Army, and is now with Panadura Sports Club for the 2025/26 season, where he's continued to produce big performances with the ball, including 7/87 against Colombo CC in January. Across 91 first-class matches, he has racked up 3,786 runs at 26.66, including four centuries, and claimed 311 wickets at 24.28 — with 18 five-wicket hauls and five ten-wicket match performances to his name. His List A numbers are equally impressive: 1,588 runs at 33.78 and 81 wickets at 20.29, underlining his all-round value and reliability.

A go-to bowler who often opens the attack with his tight, attacking off-spin, Vimukthi is known for his control, flight, and ability to extract turn even on flat surfaces. With the bat, he's a genuine middle-order contributor capable of shifting gears depending on the match situation.

His domestic dominance has translated seamlessly into success overseas. In 2022, Vimukthi played a pivotal role in Monton's Championship title-winning season in the Greater Manchester Cricket League, amassing 999 runs and 76 wickets in all competitions — including 895 runs at 47.11 and 71 wickets at a staggering 10.13 in league play. While his 2023 season was slightly quieter with the bat, he still finished among the top wicket-takers.

In 2024, he took his talents to the Bradford League with Townville and was widely considered one of the best overseas professionals in UK club cricket that summer. He hammered 1,431 runs at 55.04, including three centuries, and captured 83 wickets at 16.37 — performances that helped drive the club to a top-three league finish and a T20 regional quarter-final.

His 2025 season in the Lancashire League with Walsden only reaffirmed his reputation, finishing with 834 runs at 34.75 and 66 wickets at 15.47. He's kicked on again in 2026, promoted up the order and delivering his best UK season yet — 1,207 runs at 50.29, with two centuries and seven fifties, to go with 67 wickets at 18.40. Across his three seasons with Walsden, he's now amassed 2,151 runs at 43.02 and 134 wickets at 16.97 — numbers that mark him out as a genuine all-rounder in UK club cricket, every bit as capable with the bat as he is with the ball.

With a decade of top-level experience, a wealth of runs and wickets, and a stellar track record in both Sri Lanka and the UK, Dushan Vimukthi is a complete all-rounder whose value to any side is beyond question.
