Shaminda made his One Day International debut for Sri Lanka on 16 August 2011 at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota against Australia. He made his test debut on September 16, 2011 and took a wicket with his first ball, becoming the 15th player to do so in the history of test cricket. His constant back injuries meant that he couldn"t make the national team regularly after his Test debut, and his next international game came much later, in August 2012 against India, in which he made his Twenty20 International debut.
By taking Gautam Gambhir"s wicket in his very first over in that match, Eranga set a world record for being the only bowler to have taken a wicket in his first over in all formats of the game.
