1996 World Cup Profile:
Pramodya Wickremasinghe is easily the most experienced of Sri Lanka's pacemen, and has been a mainstay in their attack for many years now. Although not as pacy as either Vaas or Pushpakumara, he lends to the atttack a blend of experience and control, which makes him a very steady bowler in the one-day arena. His right arm fast-medium bowling is perhaps not as penetrative as it once was, but he has retained a clinical accuracy which will serve his team well.help@cricinfo.com
