Sri Lankan cricketer Rathnayake joins Sudurpaschim Royals

Kathmandu, Oct 28: Sri Lankan all-rounder Tharindu Rathnayake will play for Sudurpaschim Royals in the third edition of the Nepal Premier League, according to officials at the Nepal Premier League (NPL).

The 30-year-old left-handed batter can bowl both right-arm off-spin and left-arm orthodox spin, giving him an unusual ambidextrous skill set that allows him to vary his approach depending on the batter.
