SL collapse to Jacks spin as England seals crushing win: 1st ODI (Durham)

Sachindu Maduwantha Colombage (born 21 February 1998 in Negombo) is a right-arm leg-spinner who came through the domestic cricket system at Maris Stella College, Negombo, and Nondescripts Cricket Club (NCC).

He made his T20 debut for NCC in 2019, followed by his List A debut later that year and first-class debut in February 2020. He was also selected for Sri Lanka’s squads at the 2019 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup and the 2019 South Asian Games.

Colombage has represented several Sri Lankan domestic teams, including NCC, Tamil Union, Ace Capital, Negombo and Nugegoda Sports & Welfare Club. He has also played franchise cricket in the Lanka Premier League, representing Dambulla Viiking, Kandy Warriors and Galle Gladiators. A leg-spinner capable of contributing with the bat, he has been particularly effective in limited-overs cricket, where his variations have made him a useful middle-overs bowling option.

He has also continued his cricket career in Oman, representing clubs including VLCC and Khuwair Warriors. His domestic record includes several productive bowling performances, including a five-wicket haul for Khuwair Warriors against Renaissance in the 2023–24 season. Although he progressed through Sri Lanka’s emerging and domestic pathways and appeared for Sri Lanka Cricket XI, Colombage has not established a senior international career for Sri Lanka.

He made his debut for Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI against England at Durham in Sept 2026.
