Imran Bisthamin is a rugby union footballer in Sri Lanka who played for Sri Lanka, and Kandy Sports Club.[1][2] He is a product of St. Anthony's College, Kandy,[3] where he captained the college rugby team.

Bistamin played at Number 8 third-row-forward.[4][5] Bisthamin represented the country at the Asian Rugby tournament in 2007.

Injury

On November 22, 2008, Bisthamin faced career-threatening injuries to the head and spinal cord when he fell from an upper floor of a restaurant at the George R de Silva Shopping Complex in Kandy.[6][7] He was unconscious and rushed to the Kandy General Hospital and treated in the intensive-care unit[8] for Brain haemorrhage. He regained consciousness after three weeks.[9]

Controversy

On 2008, the exclusion of Bistamin from the Sri Lanka National Rugby Team ahead of Asian Five Nation Rugby Championship in Taiwan created a controversy with the second set of selectors led by Rohan Abeykoon protesting against the nepotistic move by Minister of Sports at that time, Gamini Lokuge.[10][11]
