The Organizing Committee of the 49th Mustangs Trophy, the Royal‑Thomian One‑Day Cricket Encounter, announced today that the match scheduled for 28th March 2026 will now be held as a day event instead of a day‑night fixture.
This decision has been taken in the nation’s best interests, at a time when the public is facing challenges due to the global fuel crisis. By moving to a day game, we have been able to significantly reduce the fuel consumption as per to a day-night event, reflecting our commitment to social responsibility and solidarity to our fellow citizens of Mother Lanka.
