**Sunil Asoka Jayasinghe** (15 July 1955 – 20 April 1995) was a Sri Lankan [cricketer](/source/Cricket) who played two [One Day Internationals](/source/One_Day_International) during the [1979 Cricket World Cup](/source/1979_Cricket_World_Cup) competition (the subsequent British Isles tour incorporated his only first-class appearances).[1]

He was educated at [Nalanda College Colombo](/source/Nalanda_College_Colombo) and captained the college first XI team in 1974. For many years he represented Bloomfield CC and during the 1982/83 Lakspray Trophy compiled a monumental 283 against Colombo CC (this tournament was only recognised as first-class from 1988 to 1989).

He killed himself at the age of 39.[2]
