We have much better pace bowling allrounders than him, but the advantage he has is that, he is well known by playing in IPL. The leagues sometimes pick players for their names, but not for how much contribution that they could make to that team. Thisera Perera was playing in these leagues till recently, but doing basically nothing for his team. I saw him playing in the PSL in Dubai / Abu Dabi or somewhere, it was an embarrassment to see him playing.
Any of our pace bowling allrounders who played in the T20 Invitational like Chamika Karunaratne, Dhananjaya Lakshan etc. would have done a much better job!
Thisara Perera is only other player playing in the CPL. He is playing for Barbados Royals and their match with St Kitts and Nevis Patriots is being played at the moment. Thisara had figures of 3-0-38-0 in SKNP's total of 175/5.
