Biographical Information

Subas Gunasiri has caught for the Sri Lankan national team.

Gunasiri was with Sri Lanka when they won the 2017 West Asian Baseball Cup, the country's first title. That qualified them for the 2017 Asian Championship. In that event, he backed up Nelanka Karunarathna at catcher, going 0 for 1.

Sri Lanka played in the 2018 Asian Games, their first Asian Games in baseball. He replaced Karunarathna late in their opening 15-10 win over fellow newcomer Laos. In his lone at-bat, he singled off Soua Xong to score Kasthuri Mudali Naween Anuradha and make it 12-10 in the 8th. The next day, a 14-3 loss to Thailand, he started and went 2 for 3 with hits off Kevin Kawin Irwin and Sakai Phraechai while handling 10 putouts and an assist with no errors.

In the 2019 Asian Championship, he backed up Sahan Avishka at catcher and Mudali at first base. He was 0 for 1 but laid down two sacrifice hits to tie Chen-Yu Yang, Chan-yeol Yang and Jinjun Luo for the event lead.

Away from baseball, he works in banking.
