Mapa Rallalage Chandima Niroshan Bandaratilleke (commonly known as Niroshan Bandaratilleke; born May 16, 1975 in Colombo) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a left-arm slow bowler. Immediately his bowling style was praised as a complement to Muttiah Muralitharan.
Niroshan Bandaratilleke generally takes good advantage of poor wickets, none more so than when he hit his career best bowling figures of 9/83. He has been generally ignored since 2001, but has played with Sri Lanka in the Asian Test Championship. In 2007 he was signed as a professional player for Stafford Cricket Club in England.
