Ramith Rambukwella (born 8 September 1991) is a professional Sri Lankan first-class cricketer who plays for Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club and Twenty20 Internationals for Sri Lanka national side.
His father Honourable Keheliya Rambukwella is a former minister and currently a member of parliament in Sri Lankan government.
He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against New Zealand on 21 November 2013 as the 50th T20I cap for Sri Lanka.
Rambukwella, who was in the UK with the Sri Lanka A team in July 2016, was called up to Sri Lanka's squad for the T20I against England on 5 July 2016.
On 18 July 2013, Rambukwella was fined with 50% of his tour fee of the West Indies after causing mild panic on a flight by attempting to open the cabin door at 35,000 feet. He was drunk at that time, where he had mistaken the cabin door for the lavatory, and suggested he had been half-asleep, which is what prompted the error.
In September 2013, he was arrested following a car accident in Colombo, which struck a wall.
