The Interim Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka
(BCCSL) has cancelled the Under 23 Division Three cricket tournament that
was introduced last year.
Speaking to CricInfo the chairman of the Tournament Committee, Shriyan
Samararatne, pointed out that the benefits of the tournament to Sri Lankan
cricket were outweighed by the significant costs, believed to be three
million rupees (USD $ 30,000).
Twenty sides mainly from outstation areas had participated in the
tournament, which had been won by Guesto Sports Club.
Meanwhile, the remaining two-division Under 23 tournament gets underway next
week.
