Dinesh Chandimal was supposed to take the baton from the likes of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene in taking Sri Lankan cricket forward. The right-handed batsman showed a lot of potential initially at the international stage to be called 'the next big thing'. Chandimal has played 54 T20 Internationals for Sri Lanka and has scored 800 runs. He has also captained Sri Lanka in all the three formats.

It was reported that in 2013, that Chandimal was contacted by one of the IPL team to replace a player who got injured midway through the tournament. However, Chandimal decided to reject the offer as he thought he would not get many chances in the playing 11 and decided to play domestic cricket instead.

Chandimal has put his name on the auction list on many occasions but hasn't been able to find any suitors.
