Dilwin Mendis, Moratuwa Sports correspondent

Sanka Ramesh the star all-rounder will lead Moratu Vidyalaya Cricket team this year. Sanka who is right hand bat and a right arm leg spinner is undoubtedly the best all-round cricketer in the year 2010/2011 inter-school cricket season. He became the third schoolboy in the island to achieve a very rare feat when he scored 1187 runs and claimed 103 wickets in the last season. His epic knock of 225 against Zahira College, Colombo and a century and a match bag of ten wickets against St. Sebastians in the last season will be long remembered.

He was in the Sri Lanka Schools Under 19 Cricket Pool and very unlucky for not gaining selection for the under 19 tour of India. When contacted by the Daily News Sports the Principal of Moratu Vidyalaya Lakshman de Silva said that Sanka is the best all-rounder produced by his alma-mater which has a very long history.

He brought honour and glory to his school and he carried away several awards at the Schoolboy Cricketers Awards Ceremony and further added he is happy that a cricketer of the calibre of Sanka is produced during he is at the helm at Vidyalaya.
