Benedict Navaratne (1916 – 9 June 1979) was a cricketer who kept wicket for Ceylon in first-class cricket from 1940 to 1952.
He toured with the Ceylon team to India in 1940-41 and Pakistan in 1949-50 . He had a reputation for standing up to the stumps to all but the fastest bowlers.[1] [2] Wisden Test status, called him "Sri Lanka's greatest wicket-keeper".[3]
Playing in a one-day match against the touring Australian team in early 1948 , Navaratne's keeping earned high praise from the visitors. Sir Donald Bradman is reported to have said that he would like to have Navaratne in his team.[4]
