Kandurata cricket team is a Sri Lankan first class cricket team based in Kandy, that represents Central Province. Kandurata team competes in two provincial tournaments:the first class cricket competition known as the Inter-Provincial Tournament, and the Twenty20 competition known as the Inter-Provincial Twenty20. The team also competed in now defunct the limited overs competition, Inter-provincial Limited overs tournament in 2007/08 season. The team's home ground is Asgiriya Stadium, in Kandy. Mas Holdings, a Sri Lankan apparel industrial firm is the team's sponsor. The team will stage their home matches in Pallekele cricket stadium once it completes construction.

Kandurata reached the Finals of 2007/08 Inter-provincial Limited overs tournament having won their all round robin matches. But unfortunately the game washed out due to the rain. In the 2009 Inter-provincial tournament Kandurata was defeated by Basnahira North by one inning and 16 runs.

Kandurata has some reputed Test cricket players such as Kumar Sangakkara and Muttiah Muralitharan. Unlike in India and Australia, where cricketers represent their home province or state, it is the norm in Sri Lanka for outside cricketers to play for another province in Inter-Provincial Tournament. This is because uneven distribution of cricketer population among provinces. Therefore it resulted in players like Nishantha Ranatunga and Sanjeeva Ranatunga from Western Province, where the most cricketing population occurs, playing in Kandurata or Central Province.
