Kaushal replaced injured Dilruwan Perera for the second test against Pakistan. He was a real headache for the Pakistani batsmen from the very first over and finally he took his first 5-wicket haul by taking 5 for 42 runs.
Kaushal's second five wicket haul came against India at Galle on 13 August 2015. Sri Lanka was in desperate trouble in the match, where their spearhead Rangana Herath along with Kaushal destroyed the India's second innings to just 112 runs. Herath took 7 wickets and Kaushal took rest of the 3 wickets. Sri Lanka finally won the match by 63 runs.
Bowling action.
Kaushal's bowling action is slightly similar to legendary fellow Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan. Instead of being usual off-spinners, Kaushal is actually a wrist spinner as Murali. After the Test series against India in 2015, his bowling action has an illegal suspect action and ICC has given a period for checking his action in Chennai. After the study, Sri Lanka's chairman of selectors Kapila Wijegunawardene stated that, the off-spin of Kaushal is legal to bowl, but not the doosra. Doosra should be inside the ICC's 15-degree limit, which is not with Kaushal. So, Kaushal is banned for bowling doosra in international level.
