Edirimuni Chamika Dinushan Perera Karunaratne (born 29 May 1996) is a professional Sri Lankan cricketer who plays all three formats as well as a national badminton player.

[3] In November 2022, he was handed suspended one-year ban from all forms of cricket after violating and breaching several clauses of his player agreement during the aftermath of the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

[34] During Sri Lanka's win in all-important clash against Bangladesh during the 2022 Asia Cup group stage match, he went onto mock the Bangladeshi team with his Naagin dance which was a talking point in social media with netizens calling him for his amusing inappropriate code of conduct and antics.

[35] In November 2022, he was fined US$5000 (equivalent to Sri Lanka Rupees 1.8 million) and was also reprimanded with a hefty one-year suspension from all forms of cricket by a three-member committee appointed by the Sri Lanka Cricket who concluded that Chamika was found guilty of lighting an oil lamp to Lord Ganesha (with some reports claiming that Chamika had lighted oil lamp for superstitious purposes and some reports claim that he actually lighted the oil lamp to Lord Buddha) at the hotel where he stayed during the course of the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia.

[36][37] It was revealed that Chamika had left the incense sticks unattended and hence causing a greater danger and possible threat of fire at the hotel premises.

[38] He was also reported to have involved in an altercation and had heated exchanges with an outsider at a casino in Brisbane just hours before Sri Lanka's T20 World Cup match against Afghanistan.

The report further highlighted that Chamika Karunaratne had even skipped training sessions just to meet and accommodate female companions at his hotel room during the middle of the ICC T20 World Cup showpiece in Australia.

The report also claimed that Chamika Karunaratne was more interested and focused on meeting the ladies of Sri Lankan origin who have been domiciled in Australia.

He was dropped from Sri Lankan squad for the home bilateral ODI series against Afghanistan due to his poor run of form in international cricket and his axing even raised eyebrows of many including the sports minister Roshan Ranasinghe who expressed his unhappiness and disappointment over the removal of Chamika Karunaratne from the ODI squad and he also requested a report from SLC regarding the matter.

[44] The sports ministry also delayed the approval of the national ODI squad for the series against touring Afghanistan mainly owing to Chamika's ousting from the team.
