Negombo Cricket Club
Cricket team / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Negombo Cricket Club is a cricket team in Sri Lanka.[1] In March 2017, they made a legal challenge against Sri Lanka Cricket after they were removed from Tier B of the 2016–17 Premier League Tournament.[2] This prevented the 2016–17 Premier Limited Overs Tournament from taking place and it was replaced with the 2016–17 Districts One Day Tournament.[2]
They were one of the teams that took part in the 2017–18 SLC Twenty20 Tournament.[3] They finished fourth in Group A, with two wins and three losses from their five matches.[4] Following the conclusion of the Twenty20 tournament, they also took part in the 2017–18 Premier Limited Overs Tournament.[5] Negombo CC is one of the upcoming first class teams which has done extremely well over the years and gained a spot in the tier a segment and as a highlight achievement they qualified for the quarter-finals of the T20 domestic tournament led by well known Dilshan Munaweera.
