Has anyone talked about this leg spinner yet?

I have been looking for this guy ever since I first detected him playing in some white ball local club tournament. But, I could not get his name from that match. I spoke about him in the forum at the time, but Bada tried his best to find what I was looking, but he could not either since I did not have a name.
As you may have already seen, he starts to bowl just like Sandakan. Besides Sandakan himself, I am yet to see a Sri Lankan spinner since Murali turning the ball that much. He also has Adam Zampa's action.
It cannot be just the wicket, because other spinners who play along side him, didn't turn it that much. He still drops short though, but those things can be fined tune. The match I watched, both Hafeez and Samit Patel got out to him trying to hit. He plays for Kandy, but I have no clue as to why Angelo Perera has not been using him more. Don't these people see these types of bowler's have potential?
Why was he not selected for the SLC Invitational tournament, this is why Sri Lanka has found themselves in this horrible situation with lack of talented players. They miss them or ignore them, while they keep playing players like Seekuge, Thilekeratne Sampath, Akila (with the new action) etc. etc.
I hope that he will get to play in this tournament, consistently. He still has to correct his length, too many short pitched balls coming from him, but when he drops it at correct length, the ball is unplayable!
