As part of its ongoing commitment to support the development of Associate Member Nations, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is extending its assistance to the Japanese National Cricket Team, which arrived in Sri Lanka yesterday (31) for a preparatory camp ahead of the East Asia-Pacific (EAP) and Asia Region World Cup Qualifiers. 

According to the SLC, during their stay in Sri Lanka, the Japanese team will engage in a preparation camp, which will consist of seven practice games. 

As part of the facilitation, Sri Lanka Cricket will provide the Japanese teams with four U19 Provincial Squads, match balls, match officials, scorers, and the venue facilities. 

Out of the seven games, five games will be played at the Surrey Grounds in Maggona, and two games will take place at the NCC Grounds, Colombo. 

This initiative underscores SLC’s commitment to cricket beyond its borders, having previously assisted Japanese cricket through numerous collaborations. These include sending Sri Lankan coaching staff and curators to Japan, sending the Sri Lanka Emerging Team to Japan, and imparting technical and infrastructure expertise. 

This initiative is part of an MOU signed between Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and the Japan Cricket Association (JCA) last year, where SLC assured to help Japan develop its game through collaborations, exchanges, and also provide expertise pertaining to the game. (Newswire)
