Deva Lokesh Stanley de Silva (17 November 1956 – 12 April 1980) was a Sri Lankan cricketer.
A member of Sri Lanka's tour of England and Ireland in 1979, he played two One Day Internationals in the 1979 Cricket World Cup.
A medium-fast right-arm swing bowler of real promise,[1] he made his ODI debut against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
[2] Stanley de Silva died on 12 April 1980 at the early age of 23 in a motorcycle accident at Balapitiya, Sri Lanka.
His early death was a blow to Sri Lanka's aspirations to be granted full Test status at the beginning of the 1980s.
