History
Basketball was first introduced to Sri Lanka in 1917 by an American, Walter Cammak. Ten years later in 1927, Ananda College was the first school to introduce basketball in Sri Lanka, causing other schools to follow. In 1958, the Ceylon Basketball Federation (CBF) was established and was consequently admitted into FIBA in 1959. Sri Lanka joined the Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) in 1962, and has participated in most ABC competitions since.
