Three students from St. Anne's College have qualified to participate in the 2023 Under 17 Sri Lankan Youth League Cricket Tournament. The triad consists of Buddhima Sahan, Geethika De Silva, and Yashmin Jayasundara, all of whom will be representing the Dambulla Team.

The tournament, organized by the Sri Lanka Schools Cricket Association, is scheduled to commence on August 21st and will take place across four venues in Colombo. The final will be held on August 29th at the NCC Ground.

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.
