Born on October 19, 1986, in Negombo, Sri Lanka, Pradeep celebrates his birthday as a former international fast bowler.
Pradeep rose to prominence through a bowling speed contest in 2007, despite beginning leather-ball cricket relatively late.
He made his Test debut against Pakistan in October 2011, beginning his journey in international cricket.
In 2017, Pradeep claimed six wickets in an innings against India at Galle, producing one of his standout career performances.
From humble beginnings to representing Sri Lanka internationally, Pradeep’s journey is a reminder that determination can open unexpected doors. Happy Birthday, Nuwan Pradeep!
