Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) donated a high-powered turf cutter to Singhalese Sports Club (SSC) following a request made by the club officials.

The high-powered triplex mower designed for superior performance is one out of two such machines used to maintain a cricketing ground in Sri Lanka.

“SLC invested in two high-powered turf cutters and decided to donate one to the SSC to maintain its ground, and we know the donation adds value, as SSC is one of the leading Test venues in Sri Lanka. Whilst going forward, we will introduce the same to other international venues as well,’ said SLC Honorary Secretary Mohan de Silva.

The new turf cutter was recently handed over to SSC President I.S. de Silva by Mohan de Silva.

The handing over, which took place at the SSC ground, also saw the participation of SSC Secretary Vasantha Wijesekera, SLC Honorary Treasurer Lasantha Wickremesinghe, and SLC National Development Centre Head Kamal Dharmasiri.

The latest donation is part of SLC’s overall drive towards developing the domestic cricketing infrastructure.

The other high-powered turf cutter was handed over to the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium to maintain its ground.
