Nondescripts Cricket Club (NCC) felicitated their Premier Cricket Team for emerging T-20 Champions and League Runners Up at last year’s Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) conducted tournaments and also recognised their top performers at a simple function held at the Club premises recently.

Sri Lanka Cap Niroshan Dickwella led NCC last year when they defeated Bloomfield in the T-20 final while promising all-rounder Sahan Arachchige led the side in the League tournament where NCC finished as runners-up.

Speaking at the occasion Chairman of the NCC Cricket Committee Marlon Fernandopulle commended the all-round performance of the team. “It was a tremendous performance and a spirited fightback by the team during the league season where NCC came back strongly to convert a first innings loss to an outright victory in the opening game. From there on the team displayed a fighting spirit and a never give up attitude to reach the finals in a tough competition that featured 18 Major Clubs.” The chairman urged the players/team to continue with their commitment and good performance in the current season which is in progress.

NCC continues to provide cricketers to the national teams. Currently Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Kumara, Dushmantha Chameera and Matheesha Pathirana represent Sri Lanka in the different formats and are not available to represent NCC during most of the SLC conducted tournaments. However, in their absence many youngsters have stepped up and ensured that NCC remains competitive and a force to be reckoned with. The team is coached by Ian Daniel who has Kithruwan Withanage as Assistant Coach.

A token of appreciation was presented to the top performances in the T-20, Limited Over and League Tournaments by the NCC President Suwan Perera, in the presence of NCC General Secretary Nilesh De Silva, Cricket Secretary Farveez Maharoof and Cricket Committee Chairman Marlon Fernandopulle.
