With a dynamic mix of international experience, versatility, and leadership, the Seattle Orcas are building serious momentum and a roster ready to make waves this summer.

Raymon Reifer
West Indies all-rounder Raymon Reifer brings elite experience and true two-way impact to Seattle. A steady presence in the middle order and a reliable option with the ball, Reifer brings balance and consistency to the Seattle Orcas’ roster. With appearances across Test, ODI, and T20 international formats, he’s battle-tested and ready to deliver in the biggest moments.

Shehan Jayasuriya
Shehan Jayasuriya returns to the Seattle Orcas after featuring in the franchise’s first two MLC seasons, bringing his aggressive batting style and dependable bowling back into the mix. His all-around skillset and deep understanding of the team’s culture make him a seamless addition.

Sharad Lumba
Consistency meets leadership with the addition of Sharad Lumba.

Expect composure, smart decision-making, and clutch performances when it matters most.
