All set for Mega Show

The Mega Show which richly rewards budding schoolboy cricketers - the 36th Observer-Mobitel Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year awards presentation will be held at the grand ballroom of the Cinnamon Grand on Wednesday. Former Sri Lanka cricketer and current ICC elite panel umpire Kumar Dharmasena, who had won the prestigious Observer Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year award in 1989, will be the chief guest. For the first time since the event took place in 1979, awards will be distributed under three categories - Platinum, Gold and Silver, replacing the previous All-Island and Outstation categories.

Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Mass Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella and Education Minister Bandula Gunawardena will be the guests of honour. The grand finale is filled with all the excitement and fun, including seven entertainment acts with a wrap up by Lahiru Perera of Rambari fame.

The Observer-Mobitel Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year is organised by the Sunday Observer, Sri Lanka's flagship English newspaper with the largest circulation and is sponsored by Sri Lanka's national mobile service provider SLT Mobitel.
