Hello,

This is my very first blog post of this new platform. Please comment your suggestions, and any interesting detail to follow on. Anyhow, I’ve prepared a list of ambidextrous test cricketers from Sri Lanka few days back and the result was interesting.

• 16- Left Hand Bat / Right Arm Spin
• 11- Left Hand Bat / Right Arm Pace
• 04- Right Hand Bat / Left Arm Pace
• 10- Right Hand Bat / Left Arm Spin
• 01- Right Hand Bat / Left Arm Spin/ Left Arm Pace
• 01- L.H. Bat / Right Arm Spin / Left Arm Spin
• 01- L.H. Bat / Right Arm Spin / Right Arm Pace
• 18- Bowling action is not known or doubtful

In fact i had doubts with 18 cricketers. Most of them either a Wicket keeper or a Pure Batsman (i.e., Roshan Mahanama etc.). Hashan Tilakaratne is the only Sri Lankan cricketer to bat Left and using both arms to bowl. There were two players who used to bowl as a spinner or as a pacer time to time.

This was just to find such players and i will surely post the pdf ASAP.
