With another impressive haul of 12665 votes, Lasith Croospulle of Maris Stella College Negombo manages to maintain his lead which he gained last week of the All-Island Schools segment of the Dialog 4G-the Sunday Times Most Popular Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year 2017. The 16th week comes in favour of Lasith overall, as his overall count reaches 111,846.

Lasith stands 8671 votes ahead of former leader Navindu Nirmal of St. Aloysius College Galle. Navindu accelerated by adding 10008 votes to his now overall tally of 103175, but that was not sufficient.
