Mega show on Tuesday

Former Sri Lanka captain and the current batting coach of the national team, Marvan Atapattu will be the chief guest at the 34th Observer-Mobitel Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year at the Grand Ballroom of the Galadari Hotel from 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

It will be a fitting tribute to former Ananda College captain Atapattu who had won the prestigious Observer Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year title 22 years ago – in 1990.

It has been customary for the Mega Event to invite a celebrated former winner as the chief guest and Atapattu will return to the Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year stage after Ranjan Madugalle, Sidat Wettimuny and Muttiah Muralitharan.

It will be a night to remember as the 2011/12 season’s most outstanding cricketers will be lavishly rewarded with glittering trophies and cash awards at the Mega Show.

The principal sponsor of the most prestigious event in school cricket is Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel, the national mobile service network. Mass Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Education Minister Bandula Gunawardena will grace the occasion as guests of honour.

The mega show which includes many entertainment items will conclude with a grand finale by Bhathiya and Santhush.
