Despite being a regular member of Sri Lanka A during his playing career, he received his maiden national call-up for the England tour of Sri Lanka in 1998. However, he didn't receive the opportunity to play in any of the international matches except for the tour matches. Although he never played Test cricket or One Day International for Sri Lanka, he was selected to the Sri Lankan squad for the cricket tournament at the 1998 Commonwealth Games where Sri Lanka finished fourth in the competition.
