International career
Buddhika made a good One Day International debut, taking a wicket with his first legal delivery and finishing the match with figures of five wickets for 67 runs,[4] the second-best bowling figures for a Sri Lankan player in their debut match, and the first Sri Lankan to do so in both the ODI format and in international cricket.[5] He subsequently made his debut for the Sri Lankan Test team.
