The Sinhalese Sports Club is a first-class cricket club in Sri Lanka. Sinhalese is the most successful club in Sri Lankan domestic cricket, having won the Premier Trophy a record 31 times to 2013.
History
A Test match between Sri Lanka and England at the SSC Ground, Colombo, March 2001.
In 1899, a combined school cricket team, composed mainly of cricketers from Royal College, S. Thomas' College and Wesley College beat Colts Cricket Club by a one run. A decision was made to form an all-Sinhalese club, and thus Sinhalese Sports Club was founded. The club leased a land in Victoria Park with sandy soil and covered with cinnamon trees.[1]
