We missed our heroes for the Season 3
Well it's a little sad to announce 3 of our members from the last season committee will not be participating in this edition.
Rusky Ahmed, who was captain of Victoria team in the 2nd edition will not be participating in this season. He will be flying to KSA to perform his ummrah pilgrimage on the 21st of February, just 4 days prior to the tournament.
He has been one of the hard working committee member during the season 2 and as we all witnessed in the season 2, one of the agressive captain of the tournament.
We will surely miss him this time and it would be great if he could support us by his presence. But unfortunately due to some important circumtances we had to release him.
WCL would like to wish him and make dua for him to complete his pilgrimage journey safely.
May allah (SWT) bless him.
Have a wonderful and a safe journey brother Rusky......
Mohamed Nizar, is another player and a committee memeber that WCL missed for the season 3. He is currently living in Dubai. He was a member of the team Dare Devils which captained by Safran and a member of the season 2 committee during the last season. Mohamed has been a great support during the preparation of the tournament last year than a player. He have done some valubale contribution for the WCL. For the first time in Weligama cricket history a website was launched by a tournament committee mean is WCL and it has been done by this person. He has been a great asset during last season.
We would like to wish him all the best and good luck..
Razeen, who was also our season 2 committee member too miss this year season. He is now in KSA. He has been one of the members who worked hard to succeed during the season 2.
We dearly missed this 3 members for the season 3. Their presence would have been a great suport for us for this season but unfortunately and due to some of their personal commitments we had to release these massive members.

WCL SEASON 3, 2013 is on its way........
On 24th & 25th of February 2013 at Zahira College Cricket Ground.
TIED FINAL HAD TO DECIDE BY A TOSS.
South Wales crowned as WCT Season 2, 2012 Champions.
In international cricket arena a ties are very often, specially in one day cricket. As we know for the best of our knowledge there was a tie match in the CB series which ended few days ago in Australia. Match 5, between Sri Lanka and India ended in tie finally giving both teams 2 points each. When you can remember a grand final had a tie? It happened here at ZCG, when Deccan Chargers met South Wales in the WCT Season 2 final.
It was a very tight game with one of the two tough teams who hardly played in the tournament. Both teams are equally tough.
South Wales captain Luhurdeen won the toss and opted his team to bat first. Packed crowd at Zahira College Ground all the spectators were expecting a great final.
Batting 1st, South Wales's total did not seem a fighting target specially in a grand final. When looking at the team Deccan they bowled tightly to keep South Wales under their control. Setting up a below-par target of just 30 to win Deccan Chargers openers had a good start and most of us thought they can easily reach the target with couple of balls left. When Zafran quickly reached his double figures. But in the other end Hussain Mahis, one of the senior campaigner in the tournament failed to support to his fellow partner.
After falling couple of wickets finally Deccan skipper Fasir Ahmed joined in the last over of the deciding game. Suddenly game started to turn other way round when Deccan Chargers had to take more than 10 runs in just 4 balls. In the 2nd and 3rd ball Fasir took the charge and hit massive sixes and Deccan had to take only 2 runs to win from just 1 ball.
Both teams were seems under pressure. Fasir Ahmed pushed the final ball of the game and tried to run 3rd and South Wales fielders ran him out. Match tied. Because the 3rd run could not completed.
By the time its the dark hour in the game. All the players gathered around both team while spectators are expecting the results.
As per tournament playing rules there are 2 options. The first one is to bowl 3 balls per team or the toss. But unfortunately because of the dark background organizers saw its unfair for the both team to give 3 balls each to bowl in the middle. So had to go for a toss to decide who is the WCT Season 2 Champions.
Coin gave us the results and said South Wales are the Champions of the WCT Season 2, 2012.
In the final day we had a special unexpected guest. Managing Director of the Jewel Hearts, Al-haj Zalool arrived in the mid of the day to watch the match. Organizer requested him to toss a game and he tossed for a super eight game between Colts and Knight Riders.

So 31 games in 2 days is not an easy task for the WCT organizers. But everything ended beautifully. They worked really hard to make this cricket carnival a memorable one.
WCT media would like to thanks all the organizers for their hard work and each and every effort they took to make this a successful event, also WCT media congratulates South Wales team who crowned as Champions in the WCT Season 2, 2012.
