Iceland’s most successful bowler is a Sri Lankan

Iceland Cricket recently named Kelum Bandara Weerasooriya as the most successful bowler in Iceland Cricket history. However, once again, they mention on Twitter that he is the biggest name in Icelandic cricket. Kelum Bandara’s full name is Wijesundara Rajapaksha Wasala Mudiyanselage Prabhath Kelum Bandara Weerasooriya, and he is a Sri Lankan who was born in Kandy and then shifted to Iceland.

We often get asked whether there are any big names in Icelandic cricket. Absolutely, take Wijesundara Rajapaksha Wasala Mudiyanselage Prabhath Kelum Bandara Weerasooriya. That's a huge name and he is also our best spinner to date, turning it both ways with a languid action. pic.twitter.com/IUA7DqiEUz
