Nuski Mohamed was elected President of Saracens Sports Club at its 80th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the Hilton Colombo Residencies last Sunday. Thalath Ismail was re-elected Patron. A reception was held in honour of its team for finishing Runners-up at the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Tier ‘A’ League Tournament 2018-2019.

Special awards were presented to players who excelled during the season. Addressing meeting, soon after being elected, Nuski Mohamed attributed the success of Saracens to the unity amongst the team members and the discipline instilled in them by the Club’s Cricket Management.

He further emphasised that it was a proud achievement, considering the fact that Saracens has been handicapped without a ground of their own, since the loss of Rifle Green, almost 50 years ago.

Mohamed said the tournament, from next year onwards, could be restructured by the SLC, with the number of Tier ‘A’ teams brought down gradually to 10, according to a proposal currently under consideration.

He thanked SLC for the tremendous support they have given to the Club during the past year, and also thanked the media and the support staff of Saracens, in particular their Coach Sajeewa Weerakoon and Manager Chandra Rodrigo, who were of tremendous help.

Saracens Sports Club has been training at the P. Sara Oval, inclusive of their indoor net and gym facilities. Mohamed thanked the Tamil Union Cricket & Athletic Club profusely, for the wonderful support extended to us during the past couple of seasons.

National cap Milinda Siriwardena was appointed Captain for the forthcoming SLC Premier Tier ‘A’ season, with Ashen Bandara as Vice Captain.
