An outstanding allrounder at schoolboy level,
Lokuarachchi stepped up to the Sri Lankan squad in the aftermath of
the 2003 World Cup. Primarily a legspinner, he is capable of
maintaining great discipline on unreceptive surfaces. Also a tough,
well-organised batsman and a lively fielder, there had been high
hopes that he would be able to pin down a regular place. But a fatal
late-night car crash in Aug 2003 was followed by a four-month
disciplinary ban. Some good performances though in the 2004
Provincial Tournament eased him back into contention and returned
briefly against Australia. However, he was held back by the lack of
bite in his stock legbreak and drifted back into the A team. But
having worked hard on his action, he was called up after Murali's
shoulder injury and then grabbed his place in the Champions Trophy
squad during the South Africa one-day series.
