The death occurred of Mahinda Athulathmudali, one of the most outstanding off spin bowlers last week.
Athulathmudali played in the Nalanda College team from 1957-1959 and was rated as one of the best bowlers in the schools arena at that time who also played for NCC, Bloomfield and Colts.
Athulathmudali also played for Air Force and migrated to Canada and later returned to Sri Lanka to set up his own business.
He was a founder member of Old Nalandians’ Sports Club which was inaugurated in 1965 and was its patron at the time of his death.
He leaves behind his dutiful wife Yolande (miss Yolande Boyagoda) and a son and daughter.
