Sibley leads 2-0 win after spectacular SL collapse: 2nd Test, Day 4 (Galle)

Lasith Embuldeniya is a left-arm orthodox spinner known for his ability to extract sharp turn and bounce on subcontinental pitches.

Born on October 26, 1996, in Colombo, he made his Test debut against South Africa in 2019 and immediately impressed with a five-wicket haul.

A key figure in Sri Lanka’s spin attack, Embuldeniya has often been relied upon to provide control and breakthroughs in the longer format, especially on home soil. While his Test career has shown promise with several match-winning spells, injuries and form fluctuations have occasionally interrupted his progress.
