Rumesh Joseph Ratnayake (born January 2, 1964, Colombo) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer who played in 23 Tests and 70 ODIs from 1982 to 1993. During a career often blighted by injury, Ratnayake was a strapping right arm fast-medium bowler who was capable of swinging the new ball and generating considerable pace and bounce. He was also a more than useful hard-hitting lower order batsman, as Test match fifties against Pakistan and England testify. One of his best performances came in the 1985/86 series against India, taking 20 wickets at 22 for the series. In the 2nd Test he managed 9 wickets in the match which gave Sri Lanka a rare Test win, and inaugural series victory. Other good hauls include 6 for 66 against Australia at Hobart in 1990/91 and 5 for 69 against England at Lords. ==After Retirement== In July 2001 Ratnayake became the administrative team manager for the Sri Lankan national cricket team.〔(Rediff.com ) July 25th, 2001 ''Retrieved on June 17th, 2008''〕 In 2003 Ratnayake was a development officer for the Asian Cricket Council〔(Monsoon Rains force Reschedule ) Cricinfo.com, July 18th, 2003 ''Retrieved on June 17th, 2008''〕 and was a coach and selector for the Asian Dream Team, a composite team of lesser Asian cricketing nations that played 6 matches in Sri Lanka that year.〔()''Retrieved on June 17th, 2008''〕 Ratnayake was in May 2007 linked with the Sri Lankan national cricket team assistant coaching job〔(Rumesh to take over as assistant coach ) Sunday Times newspaper (Sri Lanka) Sunday May 20th, 2007 ''Retrieved on June 17th, 2008''〕 with some saying he had been given the interim coaching job.〔(Rumesh Ratnayake: Interim Coach of Sri Lanka ) SouthAsiabiz.com, May 20th, 2007 ''Retrieved on June 17th, 2008''〕 Ultimately it was the deputy's job that he was offered, and later declined in June 2007.:〔(Whither the future, Marvan, Rumesh? ) The Sunday Leader Vol. 14 Issue 2, July 1, 2007 ''Retrieved on June 17, 2008''〕 He has also recently offered his skills advising cricket hopefuls in Canada〔(Ratnayake conducts camp ) Caledon Enterprise newspaper (Ontario, Canada), June 5th, 2008 ''Retrieved on June 17th, 2008''〕 In August 2011, he became the head coach of Sri Lankan national team.〔() Cricinfo.com, Aug 3rd, 2011 ''Retrieved on Aug 3rd, 2011''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rumesh Ratnayake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
