Kamalasuriya played two 'Youth Tests' for the Sri Lankan Under-19s, led by
Aravinda de Silva, when they toured Australia in 1983/84. He was used as an offspinner who batted in the lower order and he took three wickets, including
Mark Taylor and
Mark Waugh. His first-class career was brief and consisted of three matches in Group A of the 1988/89
Lakspray Trophy. On his first-class debut against Galle he scored 69 in his first innings and 19 as an opener in his second, dismissed by medium pacer Priyanka de Silva on both occasions. His other matches were against
Burgher Recreation Club and
Colts Cricket Club. Tamil Union finished the Trophy as runners up to the
Sinhalese Sports Club Instead of continuing in domestic cricket, Kamalasuriya moved to the Australian city of Adelaide where he studied marketing and later opened a cleaning business. == Death ==
