Born on the 5th of July, 1985, in a small town in Sri Lanka, Chami picked up a bat for the first time in their early childhood, influenced by the vibrant cricket culture of their homeland. From makeshift pitches on dusty playgrounds to more structured school competitions, Chami's left-hand batting prowess became evident early on. Teachers and coaches were quickly taken by the fluidity and precision of their strokes, combined with an innate ability to read the game.
Progressing through age-group cricket, Chami made their presence felt with consistently strong performances, catching the eyes of selectors.
