One of Sri Lanka’s most consistent domestic players, the 31-year-old is a right handed top order batsman and bowls useful off spin.
Plying his trade for Ragama, Silva made his Test debut in 2017, scoring a match-saving unbeaten 74 in Delhi against India.
Having scored more than 15,000 first class runs at an average of 48.92, Silva also boasts a respectable Test average of 35.10, which includes five half centuries and one century, which came against Bangladesh in Chattogram.
