Dubai, United Arab Emirates Mar 11, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Being drafted by V300 in the Revo Premier League, marks a significant milestone in the career of Aaron William Benjamin. His selection in the franchise side further strengthens an already international resume, with competitive cricket played across England, the UAE, and several African and Asian cricketing circuits.

Benjamin made an instant impact on debut for V300, striking with his very first delivery. He returned later to claim another wicket in his second over, finishing with impressive figures of 2/17, an excellent return for a fast bowler in the high-tempo T10 format.

Despite his international experience, Benjamin had only limited exposure to Sri Lankan conditions before the tournament. His only previous appearances in Sri Lanka came in 2019 with the UAE U19 side, against Tamil Union U23 at the P. Saravanamuttu International Cricket Stadium and Afghanistan U19 at Colombo Colts Cricket Club.

Similarly, the Revo Premier League proved highly competitive, featuring several Sri Lankan domestic professionals and first-class players, providing a strong franchise stage for the fast bowler.

The V300 Squad
Drafted to V300, Benjamin joined a squad that blended youth and pedigree. The environment quickly proved to be one of professionalism, strengthened by the presence of accomplished young cricketers.

He shared the field with Yenula Dewthusa, former Sri Lanka U19 player and current Badureliya SC first-class cricketer, as well as Naren Muralidaran, who has also represented Badureliya SC at the first-class level. Adding international flavor to the squad was Singapore mens national player Suryansh Gulecha, while leadership came from Captain Niyon Jenison, who has competed at a notable level of youth cricket in the UAE.

Speaking about the environment within the team, Jenison highlighted the structure behind the franchise. The setup around the V300 team is very professional, and it really helped young players transition from lower levels of the game into a professional franchise environment, he said.

Performance, Adaptation, and a Quarter Final Finish
As a team, V300 found their rhythm as the tournament progressed. Despite being one of the younger squads in the competition, the team performed well, with roles becoming clearer and communication improving as the matches unfolded. Reflecting on the approach behind assembling and managing the squad, owner and manager Vinosun Sandrasegar explained, Our focus was not only on skill, but also on players who had hunger, discipline, and the willingness to improve and play for the team rather than for individual success.

The youthful profile of the squad ultimately became a strength. With players eager to adapt, the team developed strong cohesion as the tournament progressed. As Sandrasegar noted, V300 was the youngest team in the RPL T10 tournament, and that actually worked in our favour. The players were energetic, committed, and once they understood the team culture, they managed themselves very well both on and off the field. 

He added that the philosophy behind the team reflects the values of his parent company: The core belief of V Construct is about building dreams and bringing them to life. Through this journey, V300 has helped reignite the dreams of many young players and given new energy and direction to their sporting careers.

Their campaign culminated in a nail-biting Quarter Finals, a notable achievement against sides stacked with experienced Domestic players and well seasoned teams. For Benjamin, the tournament marked a successful debut in Sri Lankan franchise cricket, highlighting his ability to adapt quickly and perform in the demands of short-format competition.

What is Next for V300?
With the tournament concluded, attention now turns to the next campaign. For Aaron William Benjamin, the experience adds another chapter to his international career, sharpening his adaptability against Sri Lankan domestic talent.

For V300, the season provided strong foundations. Reaching the Quarter Finals as one of the youngest squads in the competition highlighted the teams potential. With greater cohesion and experience, V300 will return next season better prepared to challenge in the RPL T10.
