The Radella Cricket Ground, built in 1856, which is situated 4,200 feet above sea level in Nuwara Eliya has been re-developed and is now ready for the national team to train ahead of their crucial tour of New Zealand, the Sri Lanka Cricket said.
The SLC said the ground is the only high-elevation cricket ground that can be utilized for national level cricket training in Sri Lanka.
The re-development work of the ground commenced following the consent given by SLC Member Club Dimbula Athletic and Cricket Club, the facility's owners, to use it for national team training.
Following this, a 20-member, highly experienced ground management team headed by Godfrey Dabrera, Manager, International Venues and Facilities of the SLC, worked across a few weeks to restore the ground to make it suitable for national team training.
The ground is now equipped with 4 center turf wickets and 5 newly laid practice turf wickets, as well as other facilities, to enable the successful conduct of the training sessions.
The national team will travel to Radella on the 16th of February to commence a week-long training session before its departure to New Zealand, as Radella has conditions similar to New Zealand.
Last week, a practice game was played at the ground to determine its suitability for national level cricket, the SLC said.

The pitch must be quite green to practice the swing. But, partially green to our dismay.

Why not train in the plane itself !!!! To go and loose ... We have wasted some money doing up a picth ..... Surely someone would have pocketed some funds to develop their own assets ..
