St.Anthony's College has produced several cricketers of note, starting with Jack Anderson, who was undoubtedly a legend on his own. However, due to the lack of Ceylon cricket at that time, he could never play for his country. It was after that St. Anthony’s College, Kandy produced cricketers of note starting with A.C.M. Lafir and several others who has done proud to the school. Muttiah Muralidaran, Ruwan Kalpage, Piyal Wijetunge – The spin wizards of Sri Lanka cricket in that era. However, after that period the school cricket standards did not match up to the requirements of knowledgeable and senior ex – cricketers of the school and clubs. Hence, it was decided that another Wing was necessary in order to assist, mainly cricket and also other sports that help boys to develop themselves to be top class sportsmen, during their schooling career. Today the Old Antonians Cricket Wing is assisted by the old boys. We see an absolute necessity to enhance the working of this cricket wing to help us, with coaches and all other expenses involved in coaching clinics for the young developing sportsmen of the school. Hence, we expect, every sports lover to come forward with all their suggestions and meet us at the AGM in Kandy this year.
