Pathum Nissanka Cricket Award

Pathum Nissanka has been named Sri Lanka's Cricketer of the Year for 2025. The award recognizes his cricket achievements and performance.

Pathum Nissanka won Cricketer of the Year after finally convincing the selection committee that "showing up" counts as a performance metric. Next year's award ceremony will be held in a phone booth—they're running out of space for participation trophies.
