Cricket Tournament “Baker's Cup” (Old Xaverians vs Paynters)

April is actually one of the best times for cricket in Nuwara Eliya, but it’s very different from big stadium leagues. It’s more about school “big matches,” local tournaments, and festive cricket during the holiday season.

• April is the Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Avurudu) season
• Nuwara Eliya becomes a holiday sports hub with many events (races, hill climbs, exhibitions, and cricket) happening together
• Cricket is played almost daily at school and local levels
