Another promising lot of cricketers came off in the SUNDAY OBSERVER-MOBITEL Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year 2012 show at the Galadari Hotel VIP wing on Friday.

Officials from all parts of the Country Reepresentatives from School Cricket Associations headed by its president L.M.D. Dharmasena who is also the Principal of Ananda College, Colombo.

This contest is no doubt the most looked forward event for schoolboy cricketers as they get rewarded for the hard work and sacrifice made during a gruelling school cricket season lasting for over six months. The selection panel comprising over 13 officials from Colombo and Outstation schools selected the winners purely on merit taking into consideration their performances during the season. Priority is also given to those who have represented the country at junior level.

The contest revealed that more and more cricketers from the outstations are emerging which is a heartening sign for cricket in Sri Lanka. The date and the venue for the grand finale will be notified later.

The proceedings of the selection committee meeting began by observing two minutes silence for two prominent figures who had rendered yeoman service at the contest almost from the beginning.

The late Leslie Fernando who passed away early this year, was a ‘livewire’ in making the competition a success with his meticulous preparations, prior to the big occasion and Ignatius Anandappa who represented the umpires committee were sadly missed.

Anandappa died of an heart-attack and was laid to rest yesterday at his hometown, Moratuwa. He was also to be a part of the selection panel this year.
