Tragic news has emerged from Sri Lanka, where Dhammika Niroshana, the country’s former captain of the under-19 cricket team, was reportedly shot and killed on Tuesday night at his residence. The incident is reported to have happened at the former cricket player’s Ambalangoda home, Kanda Mawatha. According to a number of local media accounts, Niroshana was at home when the incident happened with his wife and two kids. It has been stated that a 12-bore gun was used by the assassin of Niroshana. When the police learned of the situation, they responded quickly and sent the body for an autopsy.

Between 2001 and 2004, Niroshana participated in eight List A matches and twelve first-class games for the Galle Cricket Club. Niroshana was a good all-around player who could score runs and take wickets with the bat and the ball. During his playing career, he amassed over 300 wickets.
In addition to playing in a few under-19 Test matches and two years of One-Day Internationals, he made his debut for Sri Lanka’s U19 team in 2000.
