One of the rare trades in cricket, Lakshan Sandakan is one of the best upcoming chinaman bowlers from Sri Lanka. With the ability to turn the ball either way with immense control over his skills, he makes it very difficult for the batsmen to pick his awkward action. The turning point that put his career on the right growth trajectory came in the 2013-14 First Class season, when he made the switch to play for Colombo Cricket Club. He finished at the top of the wickets chart with 54 scalps at a miserly 19.14. He followed it up with another stellar season the next year with 45 wickets.
