Debut
Chameera made his ODI debut on January 29, 2015 against New Zealand. He bowled 8 overs at an economy rate of 7.50 and picked up two wickets. A 145 kmph delivery made Ross Taylor his first victim in international cricket and Sri Lanka went on to win the game by 34 runs.
Just five months later Chameera was handed a test cap against Pakistan. He picked up four wickets in the match which the islanders won by seven wickets.
Rise to Glory

Low Points
Chameera was ruled out of Sri Lanka’s tour to England in May 2016 due to a stress fracture in his lower back.
