Matheesha Pathirana: Sri Lanka’s Slinging Sensation – A Comprehensive Career Breakdown

Early Career & Domestic Beginnings

Matheesha Pathirana, born on December 18, 2002, in Kandy, Sri Lanka, emerged as a prodigious talent with a distinctive slingy bowling action , drawing immediate comparisons to Sri Lanka’s legendary Lasith Malinga 8. Initially, he honed his skills in local cricket, where his raw pace and unorthodox style caught the eye of scouts. However , his breakthrough came when he joined the T10 League , a fast-paced tournament that showcased his ability to deliver under pressure. His performances there earned him a spot in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) , where Chennai Super Kings (CSK) acquired him, recognizing his potential as a death-over specialist 4.

Domestic Cricket Journey

Pathirana’s domestic career kicked off in August 2021 , representing Sri Lanka A and club teams. His early matches highlighted his knack for swinging the ball late and troubling batters with his low-trajectory yorkers and deceptive slower deliveries . Despite limited exposure at the time, his consistency in domestic T20s laid the foundation for his rapid ascent to the national team 9.

International Debut & Rise

Pathirana made his international debut for Sri Lanka in August 2022 during the Asia Cup , facing Afghanistan. Though he went wicketless in his first match, his ability to bowl at 145+ km/h and execute yorkers under pressure marked him as a future star 2. His first ODI wicket came against South Africa in 2023, where he dismissed David Miller with a pinpoint yorker, cementing his reputation as a death-bowling weapon 3. By 2025, he became a regular in Sri Lanka’s T20I and ODI squads, often entrusted with crucial overs.

IPL 2025: The CSK Star

Pathirana’s IPL journey began spectacularly in 2022 , where he took Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya in his first over against Gujarat Titans, becoming the first Sri Lankan to claim two wickets on IPL debut 7. By 2025, he had become CSK’s go-to death bowler, known for his “Malinga-like” accuracy and ability to defend small totals. In 30 IPL matches , he has taken 38 wickets at an economy of 8.9 , often turning games with his match-ending yorkers 5. His performances have drawn praise from fans and experts alike, with many dubbing him the “Next Malinga” .

Other T20 Leagues & T10 Impact

Before the IPL, Pathirana impressed in the T10 League (2021) , where his explosive pace and variations made him a standout. His T10 exploits acted as a springboard to the IPL, proving his adaptability across formats. While he has yet to feature in leagues like the BBL or PSL, his 2025 CSK contract ensures global visibility, increasing his chances of joining other franchises soon.

Strong Zones & Bowling Mastery

Pathirana’s strongest asset is his death-bowling repertoire . His slinging action generates awkward bounce, making it hard for batters to read his knuckleballs, slower cutters, and toe-crushing yorkers . He thrives in high-pressure chases, often targeting the off stump channel to restrict scoring. In 2025, his average death-over economy of 7.2 in the IPL ranks among the top 5 bowlers in the tournament .

Legacy & Future Potential

At just 22 years old , Pathirana has already redefined Sri Lanka’s fast-bowling landscape. Moreover , his ability to replicate Malinga’s death-bowling magic has reignited hopes for a new era of Sri Lankan pacers. With 15+ international wickets in 2025 alone , he is poised to become a mainstay in the national team , potentially leading the attack in the 2026 T20 World Cup . His journey from a T10 unknown to an IPL star underscores his relentless work ethic and adaptability, setting the stage for a legendary career.

---

Early Career & Domestic Cricket

Noor’s cricketing journey began in Afghanistan’s domestic leagues, where his unorthodox left-arm wrist spin drew immediate attention. By age 14, he made his first-class debut, showcasing maturity beyond his years . His performances in Afghanistan’s domestic T20 tournaments further solidified his reputation as a “mystery spinner,” a term coined due to his ability to bowl leg-spin, googlies, and topspinners with minimal changes in grip or action .Transitioning from local matches to national recognition, Noor’s rapid rise exemplifies Afghanistan’s thriving cricket ecosystem .

---

International Career

Noor earned his maiden call-up to the Afghanistan national team in June 2022, marking a historic milestone as one of the youngest players to debut in international cricket . His debut series tested his adaptability across formats, but his T20I performances stood out. Bowling in high-pressure situations, he troubled batsmen with his variations, earning praise for his composure and skill. By 2025, Noor had become a regular in Afghanistan’s T20I setup, often tasked with bowling death overs due to his yorker accuracy and ability to extract turn on sluggish pitches .

---

Indian Premier League (IPL) Journey

Noor’s breakthrough came in the 2023 IPL , where he was signed by Gujarat Titans after initially serving as a net bowler for Chennai Super Kings in 2022. In his debut IPL season, he took 16 wickets at an economy rate of under 8, playing a pivotal role in Gujarat Titans’ run to the final .His ability to dismantle middle orders with his googlies and his knack for taking wickets in the powerplay and death overs made him a fan favorite. By 2025, Noor had evolved into a marquee spinner, attracting bids from multiple franchises in subsequent auctions .

Other T20 Leagues

Noor Ahmad has showcased his talent across multiple global T20 leagues, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and impactful bowler:

• SA20 League : Noor became a standout performer in South Africa’s premier T20 tournament.

• Big Bash League (BBL) : Noor’s brief stint with Melbourne Stars in the 2020 BBL exposed him to high-octane Australian cricket. While he didn’t get frequent opportunities, the experience honed his adaptability to pace-friendly conditions and aggressive batting lineups .
• International League T20 (ILT20) : Initially signed by Sharjah Warriors in 2023, Noor faced a 12-month ban in 2024 due to a contractual breach, halting his participation in the league . This setback highlighted the challenges of balancing international and franchise commitments.
• Caribbean Premier League (CPL) : As of 2025, Noor has yet to feature in the CPL, though his rising global profile could attract interest from franchises in the future .
• T10 League (MENS100) : While Noor’s involvement in the Abu Dhabi T10 League remains unverified, his skill set—particularly his yorkers and googlies—aligns perfectly with the league’s ultra-short format .

Noor’s performances across these leagues underscore his adaptability and growing influence in T20 cricket, even as contractual hurdles like the ILT20 ban temporarily disrupt his global trajectory

---

Strengths & Playing Style

Noor’s strongest zone lies in his left-arm chinaman bowling , which baffles right-handed batsmen with its angle and dip. His arsenal includes:

• Googlies : A lethal weapon that spins sharply from outside the leg stump.
• Topspinners : Deceptive deliveries that pitch fuller and bounce higher.
• Yorkers : Executed with precision during death overs.
  Additionally, his aggressive batting lower down the order adds value to his all-round profile .

---

Legacy & Impact

His performances in the IPL and international cricket have elevated Afghanistan’s status as a force in T20 cricket . With a career trajectory that blends youth and experience, Noor is poised to follow in the footsteps of legends like Rashid Khan, cementing his legacy as one of Afghanistan’s greatest spinners .
