About

Pathum Kumara

Pathum's proficiency at the cricket crease is exceptional. His confidence and aptitude for scoring runs makes him a nightmare for bowlers. He is a versatile player with the ability to score runs all around the ground, making it arduous to set an effective field for him. Pathum's astute understanding of his game enables him to play to his strengths, making him a formidable asset to any team. Moreover, he is not just a proficient batsman but also an outstanding wicket-keeper with excellent reflexes and a safe pair of hands.

Pathum began his professional career with Sri Lanka Army Sports Club, where he has been a prominent player since his debut season. As he has matured, his performances have also improved, as evidenced by his impressive display in the 2022/23 First Class season, where he amassed a total of 1000 runs at an average of 58.82, which included four centuries and four half-centuries. In the same year, during the List A tournament, he scored 271 runs with an average of 45.16, including four half-centuries. These outstanding achievements led to his selection by Jaffna Kings for their Lanka Premier League campaign.

Pathum is currently seeking his first season in the UK. With his remarkable batting skills and the ability to anchor and control an inning, he would be a valuable addition to any club looking to strengthen their batting lineup with a consistent run-scorer like Pathum.
