PS = AN EMAIL Note from A Cricket Follower in Vancouver, …. my nephew-one step-removed CJ Van Twest (son of Ivor Van Twest & Winifred Stewart) …. His note is about KAMINDU MENDIS from Richmond College:
“Had my eye on this guy since he played under 19 for sri lanka. Phenomenal talent. Played one game against a fielder that could throw with both hands. Could cover point and cover point. Bowling with both hands. Would be very interested in knowing about his coach at Richmond and how you develop a talent like that. Probably leave it alone and make sure the distractions are limited.”
An EMAIL NOTE from Dr Sarath Gamini De Silva of Colombo, 28 September 2024: “We Richmondites are proud about the achievements of Richmond Cricketers. Two of them, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya De Silva are captaining national sides in ODI s and tests respectively.
Richmond College team has just been crowned the best under 19 team for 2024. The extraordinary success saga continues.
GREAT WORK!
