Under 23 Division Three tournament cancelled

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.
