Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The selectors could no longer ignore the talent he possessed and awarded him with a place in the Sri Lanka ‘A’ squad to tour England. With Sri Lanka playing on turning tracks at home against Australia in 2016, he was picked as the third spinner and got off to an impressive debut with four wickets in his first outing. He went a step ahead in the T20Is, getting a wicket off the very fist ball he bowled - hence becoming the first Sri Lankan to do so.
In a wretched series for Sri Lanka against India at home in 2017, Sandakan was one of the few bright spots. He bagged a fifer in the third Test at Pallekele, making him the first chinaman in 14 long years to get to a five-wicket haul in Tests. With a calm head on his shoulders, he promises to be one to look out for in the future, especially with the role to lead the Lankan spin attack set to open up very soon.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A slight, left-arm wristspinner from the outskirts of Colombo, Lakshan Sandakan's consistent hauls in first-class cricket have placed him among the Sri Lanka's best spin prospects. Operating off a shuffling approach and a quick action, Sandakan has the ability to turn the ball both ways, and skid it into the pad.
Graduating from De Mazenod College in Kandana, Sandakan made an inauspicious start to his first-class career in 2012, for Saracens Sports Club. But having moved to Colombo Cricket Club by the following season, the wickets began to come thick and fast. He topped the 2013-14 first-class season's wicket-takers' list, with 54 scalps at an average of 19.14. For those efforts, Sandakan earned a place in Sri Lanka's ODI squad to play England at home in late 2014, though he never played a game.
In the following season, Sandakan was again impressive, with 45 wickets at 24.28. When he went on to top the wicket-taker's list for the second time in three seasons, in the 2015-16 Premier League Tournament, the national selectors rewarded him with a place in the A team squad to England. Sandakan took 5 for 40 in a List A match against Derbyshire on that tour, and was given a second call-up to the national squad almost immediately, thanks in part to injuries to several frontline Sri Lanka players. This time he got to play at the international level, making his Test debut against Australia in Pallekele.
