Fernhurst CC welcomes overseas player/coach
We are delighted to welcome Saveen Gunarathne, who will be with us all season, playing for the 1st XI and coaching the juniors. Here is his message:
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining you as the overseas player for our 2024 cricket season. Originally from Sri Lanka, my family made the move to New Zealand in pursuit of greater educational and sporting opportunities when I was 10. Currently, I'm proud to represent the University of Waikato Premier Men’s cricket team in New Zealand. Excitement is in the air as Fernhurst 1st XI gears up for what promises to be an exceptional season. I'm eager to tackle the challenges ahead and lend my skills to the team in any way I can. Building on the success of last year, let's aim to make this season even more memorable.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at Fernhurst Cricket Club for the warm welcome, especially Jon Meier and Mark Langridge, whose support has been unwavering since day one. The club's culture and sense of community have truly captured my heart. Here's to an incredible season ahead!"
