Profile
Indika de Saram continues to fight for a permanent place in the national side. A slight man but nevertheless powerful batsman who has a sound technique, he broke into the national side in the 1999/2000 tour of Zimbabwe. However, he languished at number six or seven in the order and was never really given an opportunity to express his full potential. He was educated at St Thomas' College in Matara, with whom he also kept wicket and became one of the most consistent scorers in the country. The highlight of his schools career will have been when he scored 304 runs in just 149 balls, including 25 sixes and 19 fours at the Uyanwatte Stadium against Sri Devanand College, Ambalangoda. He has played for the 'A' team in the SAARC tournament in Bangladesh in 1994, in England in 1999, South Africa 1999/2000 and against Zimbabwe 'A' in Sri Lanka during 2000.
