The Kandy cricket team is a cricket team that plays first-class and List A cricket in the Sri Lankan inter-provincial competitions.[1] Though it is a district cricket team, it has no geographical base, rather 5 of the 26 clubs are clustered under this team.[2] The team takes part in the National Super League 4-Day Tournament and the National Super League Limited Over Tournament.[3] Pathum Nissanka is the current captain of the team for the 2024 season.

Background

The team is made up of the top performers of the Major League Tournament and the Premier Limited Overs Tournament.[4] Previously, the team used to take part in the inter-provincial tournaments till 2019.

The inaugural List A match played by Kandy was held on 15 March 2017 during the 2016–17 Districts One Day Tournament.[7] The team competed in a first-class match for the first time on 30 March 2018, against Dambulla in the 2017–18 Super Four Provincial Tournament.[8] The first Twenty20 match was played by the team on 21 August 2018, against Dambulla in the 2018 SLC T20 League.[9]

In January 2022, the SLC announced the addition of National Super League for both four-day and one-day cricket to its domestic structure, marking the return of Kandy in domestic cricket.[10] Kandy were crowned as the champions of the inaugural season of NSL 4-Day after the final match against Jaffna was drawn and Kandy won on first innings total.[11]
