Asgiriya International Stadium, Sri Lanka, has the unique distinction of being the only Test class cricket stadium in the world to be owned and maintained by a secondary school -- Trinity College (Kandy). Surrounded by mountains in the ancient hill capital of Kandy, Asgiriya is considered to be one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the world. Ranjan Madugalle, Ravi Ratnayeke, Kumar Sangakkara, and Kaushalya Weeraratne, all of whom represented Sri Lanka at the highest level at cricket, are but a few who honed their budding cricketing talents at Asgiriya whilst schoolboys at Trinity.
