He became a stage actor, playwright, author, and cricket commentator on radio. Early life and educationLucien de Zoysa was one of six sons of Sir Francis de Zoysa, a Ceylonese lawyer and statesman. He attended both of Ceylon's two pre-eminent schools: first S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia, and then Royal College, Colombo.[1] In March and April 1936 he took part in the first visit to Australia by any cricket team from Asia when he toured with the Royal College team.[2] Cricket careerA leg-spin bowler, de Zoysa played club cricket in Colombo with Sinhalese Sports Club. He was the leading wicket-taker when the club made a short tour of three non-first-class matches in India in 1945-46.[3] He played his first match for Ceylon in 1946-47, taking six wickets when the Ceylon Cricket Association team defeated a Southern India team in Madras by an innings.[4] In 1949-50 he was easily the most successful bowler when Ceylon toured Pakistan. Ceylon lost three and drew two of the five matches, but de Zoysa took wickets consistently and finished with 21 wickets at an average of 16.23.[5] In the match against Pakistan in Karachi he took 6 for 72 in the first innings, becoming the first Ceylonese player to take six wickets in an innings in an international match.[3][6] A few days earlier, against the Commander-in-Chief's XI at Rawalpindi, he had taken his best first-class figures of 6 for 65 in the first innings.[7] In 1950-51 he was one of two Ceylonese cricketers who were invited to play for a combined Indian, Pakistani and Ceylonese side against the touring Commonwealth XI in Bombay.[8][9] Later careerDe Zoysa's main career was in the theatre. He was an actor and director, and wrote several English-language plays and stories based on the history and legends of Ceylon.[10] He also became a cricket commentator on radio, providing English-language descriptions for many years in partnership with his former Ceylon and Sinhalese Sports Club teammate Bertie Wijesinha.[3] Personal lifeHe and his wife, Dr Manorani Saravanamuttu, had two sons. One, Richard, a journalist and human rights activist, was murdered in 1990. The other son, Michael, is a Sri Lankan cricket administrator who has managed Sri Lankan touring teams.
