A right-hand batsman and wicket-keeper,[1] he scored 64, four and 109 in his first three innings for the Sri Lanka Cricket Development XI.[2][3] He is an aggressive batsman and keeper who also scored two centuries for his country's U-19s, which he vice-captained,[4] and plays for the Sri Lanka Cricket XI and Schools Invitation XI for one day and Twenty20 cricket.[1]
Dinesh Chandimal started his cricket career as a teenager at Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda. Later he moved to Ananda College, Colombo. He made his international debut during the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies, playing in Sri Lanka's group games against New Zealand and Zimbabwe in the initial group stage and then playing against Australia in the Super Eights.
After also playing against New Zealand in a Twenty20 match in Florida, Chandimal was selected for an ODI tri-series in Zimbabwe, where the two sides also played India. He made his debut against Zimbabwe, scoring an unbeaten ten as his side cruised to a nine-wicket win and then registered his maiden international century by scoring 111 runs in 118 balls against India, an innings that helped his side both win the match (by six wickets) and knock India out of the tournament. He also became the youngest Sri Lankan to score an ODI century.
