Some are native (Settlers of invasions from South India from time to time).. Others were bought in by not only the Brits but the Dutch before them as slave labor for tobacco and tea plntations by the dutch and the brits

Tamilnadu is only 30 km from Lanka, there's is no need for invasion, they can just walk across, btw the only invasion was in 2009 by genocidal Lanka on Tamil Elam ..

Eurasians yes.. But predominantly Dutch, Belgian, French, German and Portugese descent than from the British isles like the Anglo Indians

So are cricketers like Perera and Matthews from the Burgher community too or are they just Christians?

Nope Mathews is a Christian Tamil and Perera is a Sinhalese Christian.. Most Sinhalese and some Tamils have Portuguese surnames but Burghers have exclusively Dutch and German surnames

Dav Whatmore, Michael Van Dort and Greame LaBrooy are few of Lankan Dutch Burgher Cricketers of repute.. Dutch Burghers are distinct in complexion, Hair and eyes given their direct European linkage
