Jehan Mubarak (Sinhala: ජෙහාන් මුබාරක්Tamil: ஜெகன் முபாரக்; born 10 January 1981) is an American-born former professional Sri Lankan cricketer, who played all formats of the game.
[4] Mubarak was involved in an accident on 22 April 2012 while driving back from Wilpattu National Park; he was arrested and later acquitted as the result of a head-on collision which killed a motorcyclist.
[13] After his debut Ranjit Fernando stated on air that Mubarak's batting was "poetry in motion" and that he should be given more responsibility in order to improve the professionalism of the Sri Lankan cricket team.
[23] Many commentators remarked that he had previously been treated unfairly and never given an extended run in the Sri Lankan team,[24] and this along with the enormous burden placed on him in his youth was the main reason behind his lack of consistency.
Mubarak has also been touted as a future captain of Sri Lanka due to his handling of his team Wayamba and of the media during the Champions League in India.
[28] He played in the third Test of the Pakistan series in Kumar Sangakkara's place and made a contribution of 35 batting with skipper Angelo Mathews in the second innings.
