Life and career

Born in Colombo, Kaluperuma studied at Nalanda College Colombo and represented Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club. A top-order batsman who could open and a handy off-spin bowler, he was also a skilled slip (gully) fielder.

His elder brother, Lalith Kaluperuma, represented Sri Lanka in their inaugural Test matches.
