Stub, by Lugnuts, on a cricketer who does not satisfy the current version of sports notability. This stub does not satisfy WP:NCRICKET as it currently is written, or general notability. The two references are both database entries.

Reference Number	Reference	Comments	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	espncricinfo.com	Career stats on player	Yes	No. Database entry	Yes	No
2	espncricinfo.com	Account of a match	Yes	No. Passing mention	Yes	No

• Draftify as proposer. Unilateral draftification would be inappropriate after three years in article space. If significant coverage is not found in six months, we know where the bit bucket is. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Cricket, and Sri Lanka. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Does not meet WP:GNG and WP:NCRIC. 3 List A appearances were in Premier Trophy, which is not notable enough to presume coverage for a player per WP:OFFCRIC. RoboCric (talk) 08:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete in absence of suitable redirect My preference would be here to redirect, however List of Kalutara Physical Culture Club cricketers doesn't exist. The subject fails WP:GNG, and so without the redirect, delete. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:50, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom assessment.  // Timothy :: talk  02:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to the list which has been suggested to be created. StickyWicket (talk) 11:06, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
