Omel and team set to keep Sri Lanka's 400m legacy alive
Sports Colombo BC and Track Masters win basketball championships Published 14 mins agoon 2026/04/5 The basketball fraternity came together to witness a closely fought final of the Sri Lanka Basketball League as Colombo Bulls and Colombo Basketball Club locked horns at Royal College indoor basketball courts on Sunday. Although Colombo BC looked to be the better team on paper, Bulls held their own and looked set to end their dominance. However, during the closing stages of the game, Bulls committed a few costly errors and Colombo were quick to make them pay holding onto a four point win. The final score was 73-69. One highlight during the game was the efficacy of both teams in shooting free throws, but during the final few seconds Bulls were off the target with the pressure getting to them. Colombo were the deserved winners as they won all seven games in the competition. Rukshan Atapattu, Dasun Mendis, Nimesh Fernando and Simron Yoganathan performed exceptionally well in the final. In the women’s final, Track Masters secured a seven point win over Bulls. They were trailing by four points at the end of the first half but turned the tables in the second half winning 53-46. Devduni Perera, Anjalee Ekanayake and Benika Thalagala came up with superb performances during the final.

The two cases, however, are chalk and cheese. Greig was England’s captain, a man calling the shots; Thushara, for all his slingy menace, is still trying to cement his place in the XI. Yet, in the eyes of the law, whether you’re the world’s premier all-rounder or carrying drinks, the playing field is meant to be level. Thushara’s grievance stems from SLC refusing him a ‘No Objection Certificate’ to feature in the Indian Premier League. The board has drawn a hard line in the sand, no fitness, no NOC. Those who passed the two kilometer run and skinfold test, the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis and Eshan Malinga, are cashing in in India. Thushara, having failed to meet the cut, has been left padded up in the pavilion. The Colombo District Court must now decide who has overstepped the crease. T...
