Bloomfield felicitation dinner
View(s):Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club, one of the leading cricket-playing clubs in Sri Lanka with a rich history held a felicitation dinner for Roshan Mahanama, Kumar Dharmasena and Ruchira Palliyaguru, three former cricketers turned top ICC match officials. The felicitation dinner coincided with the Golden Anniversary Celebration of Bloomfield becoming Sara Trophy Champions in 1963/64. To date 47 cricketers from the club at Reid Avenue have represented Sri Lanka at Test and ODI level while five of them went on to become captains. This picture taken by our staff photographer Ranjith Perera shows Jayantha Seneviratne, the incumbent President of Bloomfield and the chairman of the organising committee of the event, welcoming Palliyaguru and Dharmasena, two of the top ICC umpires. Mahanama, one of the two ICC Match Referees from Sri Lanka besides Ranjan Madugalle, could not attend the event as he was on an official overseas assignment.
