Sri Lanka Cricket has signed an MoU with the Japan Cricket Association to help Japan develop its game through collaborations, exchanges, and also providing expertise pertaining to the game.
Under this agreement, Sri Lanka Cricket will help Japan by sending players, teams, coaches, and curators to help Japanese cricket.
SLC will send teams to play T20 matches in Japan and will also host Japanese cricket teams in Sri Lanka, while opportunities will also be given to their players to train with the LPL squads.
The MoU was signed between Shammi Silva, President of Sri Lanka Cricket, and Naoki Alex Miyaji, CEO of the Japan Cricket Association at the SLC headquarters.
Present during the signing ceremony were Japan’s deputy ambassador Kotaro Katsuki, SLC CEO Ashley De Silva and Priyantha Kariyapperuma, the goodwill ambassador of Japan Cricket Development, appointed by the Japan Cricket Association.
Sri Lanka Cricket’s latest move is part of its program to help associate member nations of the International Cricket Council.
