Cricketers XI with their birthday on 24th November

#2 Romesh Kaluwitharana (wk)

Romesh Kaluwitharana made an unbeaten 132 in his debut Test

Romesh Kaluwitharana is a former Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batsman, who had a dream start to his international career. Born on November 24th in 1969, the right-hand batsman made his Test debut against the mighty Australians in 1992 at Colombo and scored an unbeaten 132. While the nation termed him to be the next big thing of Sri Lankan cricket, Kaluwitharana's downfall began.

However, he was recalled to the team in 1995 and this was the defining moment of his career. He combined with Sanath Jayasuriya to form a devastating opening pair for Sri Lanka for quite some time. He went on to represent his nation in 49 Tests scoring 1933 runs and 189 ODIs bagging 3711 runs. The right-hander retired from the international scene in 2004.
