Asanka Pradeep Gurusinha, a former batter for Sri Lanka who was born on September 16, 1966, was instrumental in his country’s 1996 World Cup victory. A versatile player, Gurusinha, also referred to as Guraa, was the focal point of Sri Lankan batting from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. He was capable of bowling, batting, and keeping wickets.
It was even worse on his ODI debut. He ran out before he could score. His career came to an abrupt end when he declared his retirement due to disagreements with the Sri Lankan Cricket Board and captain Ranatunga. After retiring, Gurusinha relocated to Australia and joined North Melbourne Cricket Club on a three-year deal.
