Players

Neither list is exhaustive because w:WP:LSC has been applied to reduce the number of redlinks. Players included in either list satisfy one of three criteria:

• they have a Simple Wikipedia article in their own right;
• they are the subject of a redirect to this list;
• they have played in 25 Test matches, or have otherwise been significant (see Notes) during their career.

The default sort is by surname. Domestic teams listed are those in Sri Lanka only. Many Sri Lankan players had seasons in other countries, and these may be mentioned in the Notes column.

Active players

Appearance numbers have been excluded from this table to minimise the need for maintenance. Any additional information may be included under Notes. When a player has ended his international career, his entry will be moved to the former players table below, where appearance numbers will be recorded.
