With the ‘Game of Cricket’ coming to a total halt due to the Covid–19 pandemic, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has decided to provide relief to the affected segments of Sri Lanka’s Cricketing community.
Cricket needs to think out of box to overcome impending financial crisis
Accordingly, the SLC Executive Committee has taken a decision to grant its member clubs (ones which maintain cricket grounds) a sum of LKR 100,000 each, for the months of March and April 2020 to help upkeep the standards of the cricketing venues and infrastructure facilities.
A pandemic, cricket and its people
Whilst, District Cricket Associations will also be given a grant of LKR 150,000 in order to help uplift the livelihood of the players of the district squads and its managerial staff, who are facing financial difficulties due to the current situation.
Schools Cricket Coaches expect support
Under this measure, 11 member Clubs (ones which maintain cricket grounds) and 26 District Cricket Associations will receive financial grants. In the meantime, the SLC has also provided a monetary advance of LKR 780,000 to the Umpires Association of Sri Lanka as a relief measure.
