Izaara Cricket Fiesta 2025

IZAARA CRICKET FIESTA 2025 – ANOTHER VICTORY FOR CRICKET

The event was a celebration of sportsmanship, teamwork, and the sheer magnanimity of the unifying power of sports.

The 13th edition, held at the iconic Ceylon Sports Club this weekend, was an exciting mixture of exhilarating cricket moments, filled with strong sunshine and torrential rain.

The tournament/fiesta  was created to introduce the element of fun in sport and today, after 15 years, it has turned into a competitive event that sees some great sportsmanship and fantastic cricketing moments from teams that gave it their best. It has retained its spirit of joie de vivre and enjoys a reputation for being a well-organized, and enjoyable weekend of cricket.

THE EVENT

The excitement and enthusiasm, and all the camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed by the 16 participating teams brought in moments of fabulous cricketing performances. Prolific batting, tight bowling & fielding, not forgetting a birthday celebration which led to creating some fond memories on and off the field.

From the torrential downpour on Sunday afternoon that threatened to drown out the fun, to the ensuing boardroom drama, to the eventual bowl-out, there was never a dull moment throughout the weekend.

Congratulations to all the teams for their fabulous performance! Every one of you is a winner!
