Yasas Tillakaratne - the evergreen cricket coach and first class player - has returned to Melbourne to Captain the Brighton Cricket Club and to coach the ever increasing number of young aspiring cricketers.

Yasas played 56 first class matches and 7 matches for Sri Lanka A since his debut in 1992/93. He is a left hand bat and legbreak bowler who has played for the Antonians Sports Club, Colombo Cricket Club, Moors Sports Club and Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club.

He has a ten year career of professional commitments in the UK and Australia. He has played in the North Lancashire, Surrey and Durham Leagues and was also invited to play first-class cricket in Bangladesh.

This unassuming gentleman has been a great advertisement and proud export from Sri Lanka.

He is shown here with Aidan(9) and Ryan(7) Miles on a Sunday morning at Dendy Park in Brighton. He can be contacted through the Sri Lanka Cricket Foundation of Victoria ( 0419346031/0411465656)
