In Kandy, out of the seven cricket big matches only one was played, all other big matches have been suspended due to the coronavirus epidemic. The sporting calendar has been heavily affected by the outbreak and there is a likelihood of all the remaining big matches will be cancelled due to the present situation.
Everyone in Kandy is proud to support the admirable efforts put in place by all those who are working to deal with this threat.
“The Kandy District Cricket Association are all out to give a fillip when things come back to normal,” said its president Roland Perera and secretary Janaka Pathirana.
The only big match to be played between D.S. Senanayake earlier known as Senkadagala MV and Teldeniya National School on March 7 and 8 at Police grounds saw Teldeniya MV emerging winners.
The other Big Matches in Kandy that were postponed were the oldest big match in the hills the 114th Battle of the Maroons and the 32nd one-day match between Kingswood College and Dharmaraja College, the 104th clash between Trinity College and St. Anthony’s College, the 62nd Battle of the Babes played between St. Sylvester’s College and Vidyartha College, the Battle of the Double Maroons between Madina Central College Madawala and Azhar Central College, Akurana, the 16th Big Match between Nugawella Central and Wallala A.
