British School in Colombo added another wonderful facility to its students when Sri Lankan Cricketers Mahela Jayawardena and Suraj Randiv declared open the newly constructed outdoor cricket nets yesterday at the school premises. The two nets were built at a cost of one million rupees in order to widen the participation opportunities and to increase practice hours.

Speaking on the occasion Mahela Jayawardena said that he was delighted to see more schools taking upto cricket and wished that in the future British School will produce players for the national team.

Head of Physical Education and Sports of the school, Fiona Molligoda said that the nets are of immense importance as earlier they had to hire grounds for practice sessions and the nets will save them a lot of expenditure as well.

Executive Director of school, Lionel De Soyza, teachers and students were present at the occasion.
