Sri Lanka Cricket said yesterday that for the first time in its history it has made a cash reward to schools that performed extremely well during the cricket season. “This was done considering the amount of work the school coaches and authorities put into a cricket season and in grooming young talent. Also, due consideration will be given to certain schools that win championships with less facilities and grounds,” SLC said.
