The official ticket launch of the 96th Battle of the Maroons Legend’s Enclosure took place recently at the 80 Club of Colombo.
The event was graced by legendary Old Anandian cricketers, war heroes, and distinguished professionals, making the evening truly memorable.
Some leading former cricketers, such as Thilan Wijesinghe, Brendan Kuruppu, Charith Senanayake, Deepal Dhamasekera, and Manjula Thenuwara, participated in this event.
The first few official tickets were ceremonially presented by Legend’s Enclosure Organising Committee President Dewaka de Silva to Major General Chagie Gallage, Thilan Wijesinghe, Charith Senanayake, Deepal Dhamasekera, and Manjula Thenuwara. Legend’s Enclosure will be limited to 400 spectators only.
The Big Match between Ananda and Nalanda will take place on 27, 28 February and 1 March, while the one day encounter will be a day-night encounter. Both will take place at the SSC Ground.
