Reigning league champions Kandy Sports Club  have strengthened their squad ahead of the 2025/2026 rugby season  further cementing their dominance in Sri Lankan rugby by being able to enlist a player after the retirement of playmaker Tarinda Ratwatte.

The hill country giants have once again shown their commitment to nurturing young talent while blending experience and youth. His inclusion is expected to bring renewed energy and creativity to Kandy’s offensive game.

In a further boost, Kingswood skipper and scrum half, Thaveesha Ekanayake, the younger brother of Dinal Ekanayake, and Rivin Baudawin  have also committed with the club, underlining Kandy’s long-standing tradition of grooming top school talent.

Meanwhile, Trinity College stars, Manusha Silva and Ishara Premachandra  are set to join the team in early December, adding more youthful bite and potential to an already formidable lineup.
