The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has stepped up to the crease to support Sri Lanka Cricket as the Official Inbound Sponsor for the ODI and T20 matches of Sri Lanka’s ongoing tour of New Zealand.
“Cricket is the most followed sport in Sri Lanka and almost everyone in Sri Lanka is passionate about the national cricket team of the country,” a spokesperson for the Bank said. “Directly associating with the national cricket team is considered a prime opportunity that only leading brands in the country have been able to respond to.
“Commercial Bank as one of the leading brands in Sri Lanka is shouldering this national responsibility for the ODIs and T20s of the Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand.” Sri Lanka’s tour of New Zealand consists of two test matches, three ODIs, and three T20 Internationals. The tour began with the first test match in Christ church on 9th March. The test matches are part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2021–23 cycle and the three 50-overs games will be relevant to the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League.
