Sohan de Livera is a bright young talent from Balapitiya, Sri Lanka. An outstanding gloveman, rated as one of the brightest Wicketkeeping prospects in Sri Lanka, Sohan is a classy Left-hander, capable of batting anywhere in the order. Schooled at Sri Devananda College, he was a star for the school and one of the most exceptional schoolboy players in the Country.

After a glittering age group career, Sohan made his first-class debut in January 2020, just prior to COVID, for Sinhalese Sports Club in the 2019–20 Premier League Tournament. His Twenty20 & List A debuts followed in 2021 once things got going again but his start was fairly steady in the big time.

The change of scene with a move to Moors Sports Club seems to have been the spark his career needed, with runs flowing since he made the switch, pummelling 1800+ runs across all formats by late 2023. An attacking batsman, Sohan has predominantly batted at No. 3 for Moors Sports Club and his red-ball form has seen him selected for the Sri Lankan emerging players side to play against Bangladesh in October 2023.

Seeking his first season in the UK in 2025, Sohan will be a popular pick for any club seeking a high-class Wicketkeeper/Batsman for next summer who has been in red hot form and will be a hot pick that can have a meaningful impact at the top of the order for any UK club.
