Imasha Sanidu, born in the cricket-loving nation of Sri Lanka on 11th November 1999, emerged from the bustling streets of Colombo with an untamed passion and zeal for cricket. From his early days, Imasha was seen as a prodigy, often engaging in spirited games with the boys in his neighbourhood, honing his skills on the dusty pitches that would forge his path to greatness.

Spotting his natural talent, local coaches guided him towards structured training, allowing Imasha's prowess as a right-arm fast-medium bowler to shine. His rhythmic approach to the crease, combined with his sharp, probing deliveries, quickly earned him recognition on the junior circuit. In those formative years, his understated batting capability as a dependable right-handed batsman was often overshadowed by his bowling exploits, yet it remained a crucial facet of his all-round contribution to his teams.

His break came when he was selected for Sri Lanka's Under-19 squad. Imasha's fierce determination and consistent performances there ensured his swift rise to the national team.

Among his career highlights, the fiercely contested series against regional rivals Pakistan stands out. Known for their adeptness against pace, Pakistan faced an Imasha who was at the peak of his prowess, frequently unsettling their top order with his variations and short balls. It was in these tense encounters that Imasha's mental fortitude and strategic acumen shone through, earning him the Man of the Series accolade more than once.

Yet, Imasha’s journey in the cricketing realm wasn't just about personal milestones or accolades. His notable achievements include pivotal roles in several championship wins for Sri Lanka, notably contributing to the team's dramatic victory in the Asia Cup with a match-winning spell that will be recounted through the ages.
