The Sri Lanka Cricket team has commenced a new initiative which recognizes on-field performances of cricketers.

According to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), as part of a new initiative, Charith Asalanka was awarded the ‘Orange Cap and the Coin’ by the team for his excellent fielding efforts during yesterday’s game against Bangladesh.

Asalanka, apart from his batting heroics, held onto three catches, two of them coming at the most crucial moment in Sri Lanka’s winning cause.

Recognizing his efforts, the team’s fielding coach Upul Chandana awarded the ‘Orange Cap and the Coin’ to Asalanka in the ‘Dressing Room’.

This latest move, the team management believes, will encourage players to perform at the highest level.

The SLC added that it also intends to expand the recognition into other areas such as ‘bowling and batting, as well. (NewsWire)
