Sri Lanka rugby commentator Saabir Cader is in line to join a cast of top world stars at a company called Elite Player Management (EPM) as its Media and Commercial Consultant.

Cader was one of the pioneers of live streaming school and club rugby in Sri Lanka at the ThePapare.com website. He is a former captain of the Zahira College Sevens team and was in the panel that live streamed the Asia U20 Sevens series 2016 that Sri Lanka won.

Cader also kept Sri Lankan sports fans glued to updates during the Youth Olympic Games 2018 from Buenos Aires, Argentina when 2000m steeple chaser Parami Wasanthi made history with the bronze medal.

Saabir studied BA (Hons) Sports Management and Rugby Studies at Buckinghamshire New University (UK) from 2009-2013 where he had tremendous exposure with the London Wasps and England Rugby from community coaching to working at the Six Nations and London Sevens at Twickenham which is the home of English rugby.

He recently completed an International Business (Top-up) degree at Coventry University where he was nominated as the Student of the Year while winning the Leadership Gold Award.

At EPM Cader will work with rugby legends like David Campese and several others.
