Like South Africa, even Sri Lanka had a left-arm pacer who would give nightmares to the opposition batsmen with his brilliant bowling skills. The fans could spell his short name perfectly, but not his full name.

Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas, WPUJC Vaas. Some may even wonder if there is another individual with five initials and four letters in his surname.

Another Sri Lankan player whose short name is easy to pronounce, but full name is extremely long is Thisara Perera. The all-rounder has been a part of almost every IPL franchise in his IPL career.

His full name is Narangoda Liyanaarachchilage Thisara Chirantha Perera, which makes it challenging for the commentators to say his full name again and again.

New Zealand’s former player Heath Davies’ name seems to be easy to pronounce and even write it without any spelling mistakes. However, what makes things difficult is his middle name, which is of Maori origin.

His middle name is Te-Ihi-O-Te-Rangi that translates to with strength derived from Heaven in English language.
