“The NCC has been one of the cornerstones on which Sri Lanka Cricket has been built.

And NCC has provided a large number of national cricketers over the years and continues to do so”.

“After a 10-year playing career at BRC I moved to NCC, despite much opposition from all quarters.Honestly my 6 years at the NCC were the most enjoyable, both from a cricketing & personal perspective, & probably the best years of my life. So, my very best wishes go to those who are celebrating the NCC’s 125th year”

“To me the NCC was my only cricket club and my second home after I left college.

It was the place where I not only developed my skills as a cricketer but a place where I learned about building friendships, enjoying the game and playing it hard but in true spirit”.

“I am very proud to have been a member of the NCC and to have represented the Club at cricket.

I first came to the Club as a school boy in the late seventies to play cricket for the NCC until I eventually left Sri Lanka when I moved with my family to live in Melbourne Australia”.

“I visited this club from the age of 14 with my father who was a very strong Nondescript. These visits afforded me the opportunity of associating with eminent past cricketers of the club who played for our country.

I firmly believe that this association helped towards the betterment of my career”.

“I am proud to be a part of this great Club, which has done so much for my cricket and my personal development and wish it many more year of success”.

“My love for the Club has grown through all the positive experiences that I have been able to enjoy as a result of being associated and a part of its rich history and culture”.

“I consider this my second home. The Club’s hallowed environs nurtured my limited cricketing talent and allowed me the space, opportunity, means and inspiration to reach higher than I thought possible”.

“I remain very proud to be part of this truly great Club and I am very grateful for all the support and help extended by all those in the Club who worked so hard day-in and day-out for the good of the game”.
