Starting off as a fast bowler, Randiv on the request of his coach switched to off breaks as his school had no spinner in their Under-15 side. The rest as they say is history as Randiv has made his transition into international cricket and is one of Sri Lanka’s upcoming talents.

After a very successful 2005-06 season, his performances dipped and it was not until 2008-09 that he regained his form picking up 43 wickets.
In 2009, he made an impressive ODI debut against India picking up 3 wickets. He made his test debut against the same opposition in 2010 and only in his 2nd test picked up 9 wickets.
Randiv with his tall frame has the ability to flight the ball above the eyeline of the batsman and is a good thinking bowler. Though not a big turner of the ball, he very effective with his variations in pace and also bowls with an attacking mentality.
