For any student, achieving milestones during their College years is a dream come true. Geethika De Silva, in just five short months, has made not one but four significant milestones—a year for him to remember.
In June of this year, he was selected to partake in the Under 19 Sri Lankan Youth League. Just two months later, in August, he joined the Under 17 contest of the same league, alongside two of his College mates. Around the same time, Geethika was called to participate in a practice match against the Under 19 West Indies Cricket Team. His performances across these three tournaments left no doubt that his place should be with the main national squad.
Tomorrow, he makes his International Cricket debut as a member of our Sri Lanka Under 19 National Cricket Team. They face off with Pakistan Under 19 National Team in a tour spanning until the end of this month in Karachi.
As Geethika continues to set his milestones, the St. Anne's College family extends our heartfelt best wishes for a successful and victorious tour. We hope Geethika will make our country proud just as he has made our College proud.

Among the trio, Geethika, who also participated in the Under 19 category of the League earlier this year, finds himself in a busy schedule as he'll be playing a warm-up match against the West Indies Under 19 Team on August 25th, which overlaps with the League's schedule.
The Dambulla Team, to which our players belong, is set to face off against Colombo South, Galle, Kandy, and Colombo North on August 22nd (at SSC Ground), 24th (at CCC Ground), 25th (at Bloomfield), and 27th (at Moors), respectively.
We extend our best wishes to all our players, hoping that they will shine with their talents during this League.
