Top 5 Sri Lankan "mystery" wrist-spinners that faded away after a great start

#3 Seekkuge Prasanna

This man with a cricket ball in hand is also an army officer!

Seekkuge Prasanna is a man of many talents, apart from being a professional cricketer, he’s also an army officer of Sri Lanka. Prasanna is a very useful leg spinner and is also known for his aggressive batting down the order.

The wily bowler made his Test and ODI debut in 2011, both against Australia, in the same series. His T20 debut came much later, in 2013 against Pakistan at UAE. The right-handed Prasanna played a blistering knock earlier this year in June. He scored 95 of just 46 deliveries, missing Sanath Jayasuriya's record for scoring the fastest century by a whisker.

Prasanna was not in the original squad picked for the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, but was called in as a replacement for Dimuth Karunarathne. With the Sri Lankan team constantly juggling their spinners, he has only been part of only 1 Test match and 32 ODIs, in his career spanning 5 years.
