Trinity “Lion” and Sri Lanka youth poolist Shanogeeth Shanmuganathan will lead Trinity College, Kandy in their inter-school cricket season 2016/2017 which will commence later this month. He will have another Sri Lanka youth player Hasitha Boyagoda as his deputy. There will be only two seniors from last year’s squad – Boyagoda and Thisiru Dilshan. Dilshan too toured England with the Sri Lanka under-19 team and will be a bonus for the team.
Both Shanogeeth and Hasitha passed the 1000-run mark last season. There will be some quality feeders from the under-17 team who will be promoted to the first XI outfit this year.
