"We are very happy to be a part of this noble cause, as we consider that the well-being of children is of paramount importance to our nation and its future,’’ said Mr. Shammi Silva, President of Sri Lanka Cricket. "As a responsible organization,

Sri Lanka Cricket always comes forward to help national causes such as this, and this is one more such effort’ He further added. During the Lanka Premier League 2023, Sri Lanka Cricket provided a massive promotion for the ‘Little Hearts’ Project of the LRH in a bid to further raise public awareness about the program using the league’s international exposure.

The Rs. 100 million grant will include the Rs. 6.7 million so far raised by SLC through its ‘Bat and Bowl for Little Hearts Program’, launched during the LPL.
