Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has selected Geethika de Silva and Yasiru Rodrigo to undergo specialised training at the prestigious MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, India.

Geethika, a Sri Lanka Under-19 player and Yasiru, who has represented both the Sri Lanka Under-19 Team and the Development XI, were chosen following a two-day screening programme conducted at the High-Performance Centre (HPC) in Colombo. The screening programme, held in collaboration with the MRF Pace Foundation, evaluated 45 fast bowlers from Sri Lanka’s major clubs.

After careful assessment, selectors identified Geethika and Yasiru as the potential candidates who would benefit from the three-month intensive training programme, fully sponsored by the MRF Pace Foundation.
Geethika and Yasiru have already joined the training programme.
