After moderate success with Shildon Railway Cricket club, Boteju moved back to Sri Lanka in an attempt to re-ignite his international career. He signed to play for Lankan Cricket Club. In a recent match against Sri Lanka Navy Sports Club, the whole team wore black arm bands to commemorate the passing of his longtime coach and mentor Pavandeep Jumararunga Athwal in Tamil tiger violence. As a result of his poor performances his contract was terminated by the club, but he was scouted by Nottinghamshire Rifles back in England.
