A right-hand middle-order batsman, Roshen Silva made his first-class debut for Singha Sports Club in November 2006. Prior to that, he was a part of Sri Lanka Under-19s and the Colts Cricket Club U-23s. He was selected to the U-19 squad for the World Cup in Malaysia in early 2008. An admirer of Aravinda de Silva, he wants to represent his country at the national level and his other career option is to be an accountant.
