Sri Lanka gave a grand welcome today to its women's netball and men's cricket teams who were crowned Asian Champions.
The two teams were welcomed at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) by State Minister of Sports Rohana Dissanayake and officials from the Sri Lanka Netball Federation and Sri Lanka Cricket.
They were then taken in two open top buses in a parade from the Bandaranaike International Airport to Colombo this morning as spectators lined the route to welcome them.
Our photographers captured these images at the airport and during the parade from the BIA to Colombo.
