Cricketers XI with their birthday on 14 October

#10 Hasantha Fernando

Fernando was picked for Sri Lanka’s 2007 World Twenty20 squad but did not play

Sri Lanka’s Hasantha Fernando is a former cricketer who played 2 Tests and 7 ODIs for his national team between 2002 and 2006. An all-rounder by trade, Fernando was born on 14 October 1979 in a town known as Panadura in the Kalutara district of the ‘Emerald Isle’.

He was hardly able to create an impression with either bat or ball during his brief international career apart from an ODI best bowling performance of 3 for 12 against Bangladesh. Hasantha Fernando was included in the Sri Lankan squad for the inaugural World Twenty20 in 2007 but did not get to make his T20I debut.
