The 23-year-old Sri Lankan left-arm spinner will now join a squad that already features Bangladesh players Mustafizur Rahman and Parvez Hossain Emon, strengthening the Qalandars’ bowling and lower-order options.
Wellalage arrives alongside Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka’s T20I captain, who Lahore earlier picked during the PSL auction.
The young all-rounder impressed in the recent ICC Men's T20 World Cup, claiming eight wickets at an economy rate of 7.22. Besides his spin bowling, Wellalage is also capable with the bat and can contribute useful runs down the order.
Lahore Qalandars squad for PSL 11:
Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abdullah Shafique, Sikandar Raza, Mohammad Naeem, Mustafizur Rahman, Haris Rauf, Usama Mir, Fakhar Zaman, Ubaid Shah, Haseebullah Khan, Mohammad Farooq, Dasun Shanaka, Parvez Hossain Emon, Asif Ali, Tayyab Tahir, Dunith Wellalage and Rubin Hermann.
