Edit ProfileCareer
He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. Tillakaratne began his career with Kalutara Town Club, making twelve appearances for the team during the 1996-1997 Saravanamuttu Trophy campaign, Kalutara"s only season in first-class cricket. Featuring in the upper-middle order, Tillakaratne played twelve of the team"s thirteen matches in the competition, none of which ended in victory.
Tillakaratne"s first-class best score, an innings of 78 against Panadura, was one of the four half-centuries that Tillakaratne made during his career.
After two seasons out of the first-class game, Tillakaratne returned to play for Antonians in the 1999-2000 season, for whom he played four matches in the Premier Championship campaign, though once again he struggled to bat from the opening order.
