A wicketkeeper and top-order batsman, Kushal Perera has been a regular in the Under-19 squad since January 2007. His experience earned him a call-up to the squad for the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia. Known for his attacking batting, it's no surprise that he admires Sanath Jayasuriya for his aggression.
