    Default School Cricket.

    Does anyone by any chance have any footage of sri lankan school cricket matches from U-15 and up, this maybe a long shot but my son is traveling to sri lanka this month for coaching and some invitational matches. it would be nice to show him the standards of sri lankan youth cricket.

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately School cricket is not televised and as a result no footage is available. The only thing I can think of is uner 19 cricket videos from the under 19 WC.

    There was a brief glimpse of some of the Sri Lankan kids playing a match with the English international cricket team during a Tsunami charity event in the Galle area. It was a Sky production if im not mistaken.

    avi101,

    Excellent initiative! how old is your son? It would be an amazing experience for any teenager. Who is the coach? any former players involved in this? Where are you from?

    My sons 15 he grew up in Australia and learned cricket from Saliya Ahangama he was a fast bowler for Sri Lankan a while back. He's going to attend the FINGARA academy. im pretty sure he has a few batting specialist sessions with Marvan Attapatu. and some other's with Sangakkara and Sanath. the schedule looks exciting too bad i cant accompany him.

    Yup. Awesome experience for your son! Is this Fingara academy run by the same people who run the Fingara country club?
