Sachith Dias was voted as the MOST POPULAR SCHOOLBOY CRICKETER OF THE UNDER 17 SCHOOL SEASON IN 2009 in a competition conducted by LAKBIMA PAPER.
Sachith and his identical twin brother Harith has been representing Thurstan from under 13,15 & 17. They both had their initial coaching under the guidance of Mr Nelson Mendis at CCC School of Cricket
Though both are small in stature and they are competent all rounders, Sachith is more a bowler & Harith a better batsman.
Sachith was drafted into the 1st XI as an off spinner and has been the highest wicket taker with 52 wicket which include the 5 wicket haul he captured at this year’s Big Match. Harith though he played a few matches had not been able to retain a permanent place in the strong Thurstan batting line up..
Much is expected from the “Dias Twins” in the 2010-11 season
