Teams he has played for:
- Sri Lanka
Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Sri Lanka’s spin attack for a long time but that was never to be. He eventually ended up with just a handful of Tests and ODIs, with hardly any success in either format. In First-class cricket, his relentless style of bowling paid dividends, as he often outshone the batsmen in the waiting game. Perhaps, Ajit could have played more international cricket if he hadn’t taken part in the rebel tour to South Africa in 1985-86, an incident that gave him and the other squad members a life ban.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ajith de Silva was a highly rated left-arm orthodox spinner within his homeland. It was a great disappointment to his supporters when he failed to make a significant impact at the
highest level. De Silva was selected in the inaugural test team that played England at Colombo. He had a steady, though somewhat disappointing debut taking two wickets in each innings, bowling with admirable accuracy but failing to give the ball sufficient flight on what was a favorable wicket for spin bowling. It was expected that along with D.S. de Silva, he would form a spin combination that would hold Sri Lanka in good stead during its formative years in test cricket. However, this was not the case, his returns in three other Tests were below expectations. On the tour to Pakistan he bowled accurately at Karachi and Faisalabad but struggled to dismiss Test-quality batsman. He ended any
further chance of representing Sri Lanka when in 1982-83 he joined the tour to South Africa.
