Many highly talented cricketers were spotted at the C ricke5 Coaching
Clinic for Nuwara Eliya District organizers by the Sri Lanka Cricket and
conducted at the Dickoya. Maskeliya Cricket Club grounds at Darawella
yesterday.
This coaching clinic was conducted by the Manager Coaching of Sri
Lanka Cricket Malcolm Perera and assisted by Central Province coach
Sunil Fernando and Nuwara Eliya District Coach K. Karthigazon.
Malcolm Perera said that around 30 school cricketers under the age
group of 19 years attended this clinic. There were three schoolboy
cricketers mainly fast bowlers who displayed exceptional skills and
could walk into any Kandy School side.
One of them had been already spotted by a leading school in Kandy and
may turn out for them this season.
He said that the other two are from poor homes and they must be
looked after if they are to play for a Kandy School.
First they must gain admission to a school which is not an easy task
at present and school authorities should cooperate in the best interest
of cricket. It is the school which will benefit by their performances. |
