They are sure to keep the momentum going. The side looks extremely balanced in all the departments and with seasoned campaigners. As far as bowling is concerned, Trinity looks like a well-oiled unit with pace bowlers in good form. The spin wing is also extremely well-balanced. Congratulations should go to Kavinda Jayasuriya for continuing on as the head coach since 2015. He is a level II coach, and has experience in coaching with Kandy Youth SC, Kandy CC and OTSC.
