KASUN RAJITHA TO JOIN KENT FOR COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP STINT
The Brown Hill Cricket Club is proud to announce
that club captain Colin “KZ” Archibald will represent
Knowle Cricket Club in Bristol, England, for the
upcoming West of England Premier League (WEPL)
season. Archibald will compete in both league and
cup competitions, marking another significant
milestone in his cricketing career.
Archibald’s primary objective is straightforward: to
contribute to Knowle CC’s success with both bat and
ball. While he has set himself a personal milestone
of scoring his first century in English conditions, a
feat he has yet to achieve, he is quick to emphasize
that team performance remains his top priority.
“As an overseas player, the onus is always on you to
perform and deliver for the team,” said Archibald.
“I’ve always looked upon myself as someone who
steps up in those situations, and I’m genuinely
looking forward to that challenge in England.”
Beyond the cricket itself, Archibald views this posting
as a significant step in his personal and professional
development. Adapting to the unique conditions of
English cricket, expanding his network within the
global cricketing community, and broadening his
horizons as both a player and a coach are all central
to his ambitions for the season.
Archibald will serve a dual role at Knowle CC,
contributing as both a player and a coach. Should
additional opportunities arise, he has expressed a
keen willingness to embrace them. His versatility
and leadership qualities make him an asset both on
and off the pitch.
Archibald noted that his preparation for the season
included participation in the Leeward Islands senior
men’s trials, two-day cricket in Antigua, and
domestic 40-over cricket in Nevis. Regular club
training with Brown Hill CC has also kept him sharp
ahead of his departure.
Brown Hill Cricket Club wishes Colin all the very best
and will be following his progress closely throughout
the West of England Premier League season.
