Avishka Fernando is amongst the talented Sri Lanka batsmen doing the rounds in their cricket. The century he scored against the West Indies in the 2019 World Cup earned him a lot of praises. The Wadduwa-born played 148 runs in 10 T20Is since his debut earlier this year.

Numbers show that the 21-year-old is yet to find his feet in the format, but there’s no death of potential by any means. He also looked good for Team Abu Dhabi in the T10 league at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. There he got a 21-ball, though it couldn’t save his team off a 27-run defeat against Bangla Tigers.

His overall T20 figures aren’t worth dismissing though. In 24 games, Fernando has racked up 472 runs at a strike-rate of 132.58. Along with Burl, Fernando is one of the overseas recruits of the Challengers.
