A promising allrounder who delivers left-arm spin at a sharp pace and plays brisk innings from the lower order, Chaturanga de Silva made his international debut in the 2014 Asia Cup, after good returns for the A team against the visiting England Lions. Two forties and five wickets in the first unofficial Test in February cleared the path to his selection in the Asia Cup squad, in Rangana Herath's absence, but de Silva had been among the most consistent fringe players for over a year, both for the A team and for his domestic team, Moors Sports Club.

De Silva was earmarked as a future international prospect by the Sanath Jayasuriya-led selection panel in 2013, when he hit first-class hundreds in both the A-team tour to the West Indies, and New Zealand A's tour of Sri Lanka. An alumni of Galle's St. Aloysius College, de Silva has also played for Colts Cricket Club and Chilaw Marians in his domestic career.
