The former Wesley College star, who had his share of health issues, was always a treat to watch on the field. He loved to entertain and had a loyal following wherever he played.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A former Ceylon Schools representative, Hamer represented the country at the annual Gopalan Trophy against Tamil Nadu, with a highest score of 52 in the 1970-71 series. These matches were among the highlights for Ceylon and later Sri Lanka in the days before the country attained Test status in 1982.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132731 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Flamboyant-WicketkeeperBatsman-Russell-Hamer-Passes-Awa-By-Lawrence-Machado-1-e1711557621221.jpeg\" alt=\"Flamboyant WicketkeeperBatsman Russell Hamer Passes Away - By Lawrence Machado\" width=\"600\" height=\"486\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">During a time when Ceylon produced crack wicketkeeper batsmen, Hamer was at the top of his game, playing a few limited over matches for the national team. This was a time when official international games were unfortunately few and far between for Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He turned out for premier division clubs, SSC and Nomads, while also representing Maharajas, for many years.

Also, as a batsman, he never took a backward step. When Hamer suffered a stroke, he was helped financially by the then newly-formed Sri Lanka Cricketers Association Benevolent Fund which helped former cricketers who had medical issues.\u00a0 Hamer and AJ Samarasekera, another first class cricketer who had a stroke, were the first two beneficiaries of the Trust in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In 2018, Hamer and 48 other ex-Lankan cricketers were felicitated by Sri Lanka Cricket for their services to the game before the country was accorded Test status by the International Cricket Council.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132733 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Flamboyant-WicketkeeperBatsman-Russell-Hamer-Passes-Awa-By-Lawrence-Machado-1.jpg\" alt=\"Flamboyant WicketkeeperBatsman Russell Hamer Passes Away - By Lawrence Machado\" width=\"485\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Russell\u2019s two brothers, Mervyn and Granville, were also good cricketers, who played for Wesley College and Division I clubs for many years.
