Jayasuriya, innovator of 'catch it' leaves for England

Bertram C. Jayasuriya, the innovator of the now popular 'Catch It' close in fielding machine, left for England to watch some of the World Cup games and also market the 'Catch It' machine.

This machine has been recommended by cricket experts as ideal for the improvement of close in catching.

Jayasuriya has received orders from clubs and schools and many machines are on the assembly lines.

This is not a profit-making venture or a business.

With the Sri Lanka fielding, especially the close in catching at a low ebb, it prompted me to invent a machine that will be not only a help to the Sri Lankan cricketers, but also to club an school cricketers to improve their close catching said Jayasuriya on the eve of his departure.
