It was with a formidable reputation in the domestic circle that Ajit de Silva had entered test cricket. However, when tested against the quality test batsmen Ajit de Silva failed to much impression. Ajit de Silva's bowling did not lack accuracy but it lacked the adventurism that most other successful spinners seemed to combine so well with their bowling. Many believe that Ajit de Silva should have flighted his deliveries more often. Ajit de Silva's brightest moment in international cricket was when he helped Sri Lanka to win its first one-day international. The win came against England, who lost by only three runs. Ajit de Silva bagged the wickets of both the English openers and sent them tumbling into a narrow defeat.

Ajit de Silva played in four test matches and six one days, taking seven and nine wickets respectively. Cricketscorelive.com gives information on Ajit de Silva and other Great Cricket Players.
