XtraTime Web Desk: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has taken a major decision to grant a sum of LKR 25 million to the Government to help its efforts toward combating the Covid-19 pandemic, which has created a national health crisis.
Accordingly, the grant will be handed over to the Government immediately.
Sri Lanka Cricket, whilst understanding the gravity of the ongoing health problem, has also taken several other steps to provide its fullest assistance to the Government in order to combat the crisis.
SLC has already postponed all domestic cricket tournaments, until further notice, while have asked our players, (first class and national) and also employees to remain indoors, during this troubled time, obeying government directives.
The Sri Lankan national players are constantly supporting the fight against the Covid-19 via their Social Media Platforms requesting the fans to remain safe.
The SLC has been constantly keeping in touch with the health and other government officials, the Sri Lanka Armed Forces, Police and all relevant parties engaged in doing its utmost best to help
the nation recover from the ongoing health crisis.
Sri Lanka Cricket has been the first cricket body across the cricket playing nations to come forward to support its Government. Perhaps, it is high time the world’s richest cricket body take a leap out of SLC.
