JAT Holdings, one of Sri Lanka’s leading organisations in furnishing and finishing industry with an impressive portfolio of products across a wide range of leading international brands, recently stepped up as the lead sponsor for the Sri Lanka vs. West Indies cricket tournaments through its proud partnership with ITW.

The seven-match tournament will begin from 14 October with the two Test series at Galle International Stadium and will be followed by three one-day internationals and two-Twenty20 internationals. Further the two teams will also be battling for the Sobers-Tissera Trophy, named after two great players from both countries, Sir Garfield Sobers and Michael Tissera.

As pioneers in the industry we have always looked towards expanding our width and depth in the region and we have identified cricket as a key medium to help us reach these international markets.”
