Bio

Ashley Chandrasinghe is a gritty left‑handed top‑order batter for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield. After amassing nearly 1,500 Premier Cricket runs across two seasons – highlighted by a record‑breaking five centuries in a Darwin winter league – he earned a rookie contract ahead of the 2022‑23 season. He made a memorable first‑class debut in October 2022, scoring an unbeaten 119 off 333 balls against Tasmania, displaying a temperament likened to Cheteshwar Pujara by Victoria coach Chris Rogers.

Chandler’s resilience was further evident in the 2023 Sheffield Shield Final, where he carried his bat, remaining 46 not out from 280 deliveries- the first to do so in a final since 1998. Of Sri Lankan descent and a product of Berwick Grammar and Casey‑South Melbourne, he combines classical technique with unwavering concentration, positioning him as one of Victoria’s most promising young red‑ball talents
