Udayawansha Parakrama is an incredibly talented left-handed opening batter playing for Sri Lanka Air Force Sports Club following his move from Kandy Customs in September 2023.
Recommended by legendary spinner, and Air Force team-mate, Gayan Sirisoma, Parakrama has played 98 domestic matches since his debut in December 2016.
During the 2022/23 domestic summer, Parakrama was a stand-out performer in first-class cricket hitting 2 centuries, and 2 fifties, amongst 646 runs at 32.30, taking his overall tally to 1,993 runs at 24.91 with 5 hundreds, and 4 fifties.
To compliment his batting, Parakrama is an accomplished gloveman who has bagged 145 dismissals, with a decent percentage being stumpings (44).
Parakrama is currently in his sixth domestic season. He has been a leader within the Air Force group, acting as vice-captain in both 2017, and 2020, alongside skippering the Under-23s in 2018, and 2022.
The left-handed run machine is quite the player who embarked on his maiden UK stint in 2024. Playing for Attenborough, he excelled in the Nottinghamshire Premier League scoring 858 runs at 45.16. Such was his success, the Notts club were quick to put pen to paper to see Parakrama return for their 2025 campaign.
