The initial work linked to the construction of the Matara Polhena International Cricket Training School and Stadium is set to be completed within a month, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) sources said.

A discussion regarding expediting the project was held last Thursday (13) at the Matara District Secretariat chaired by Minister Sunil Handunneththi and with the participation of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) officials.

During the meeting, a decision had been taken to coordinate with necessary government institutions to facilitate the project’s swift initiation.

Furthermore, discussions were held on expediting the renovation of the Sanath Jayasuriya Stadium pavilion in Matara, which is yet to undergo refurbishment, despite funds already being allocated by the SLC.
