Cricket has become a huge advertising market and being a global partner of the World Cup is the highest level of sponsorship the tournament offers.

The Parade covered more than 14 suburban towns close to Colombo. Hero Honda is a joint venture between India’s Hero Group and Honda Motor Company - Japan, with Stafford motors being the sole authorised distributor for Hero Honda Motorcycles in Sri Lanka.
Having the highest sales volume in the world for a single brand, Hero Honda has the prestigious position of being known as the World’s Number one, Two Wheeler company in terms of unit volume sales in a calendar year by a single company and has retained this coveted position to date.

Hence Hero Honda is a global partner of the Cricket World Cup in 2011, with the brand being a dominant player in many of the automotive brands in the world.
The Hero Honda brand is well known in ‘cricket countries’ and the company is happy that they are able to align themselves with the heritage of the sport and bring themselves closer to their customers through this sponsorship .
