Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has donated Rs. 120 million to the National Sports Fund, earned by selling match tickets during the Australia Tour of Sri Lanka in 2022.

SLC said the grant was made in keeping with a promise Sri Lanka Cricket made to the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs while the Australian tour was on.

The grant was disbursed, as part of Sri Lanka Cricket’s mission to help develop all sport activities in the country.
