In their opening match of the competition, they lost to Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club by 65 runs. In March 2019, the team joined the Premier Limited Overs Tournament, a List A competition, but they were eliminated at the group stage.
Kandy Customs acquired first-class status on 31 January 2020 when they played their opening match in Tier B of the Premier Trophy against Panadura Sports Club.
