Bathiya Perera arrived onto the Sri Lankan first class scene as a young 19 year old leg spinning all rounder. As his career progressed he would mature into a dominant top order batsman scoring 8254 first class runs with a high score of 220 not out. Bathiya put in many dominant performances for Sri Lanka A against world class lineups but could never break into the test side.
Bathiya has since moved to Australia where he had a short stint playing at Berwick, before he spent time as the coach of Upper Beaconsfield and Frankston Peninsula and skills development coach of various junior clubs.
