SLC Thanks ICC and ACC

Sri Lanka Cricket very much appreciates the whole hearted efforts taken by the International Cricket Council, the world governing body of Cricket, in supporting its efforts to assist the people affected by the Tsunami disaster.

I wish to thank the International Cricket Council and the Asian Cricket Council for responding immediately to my request on behalf of Sri Lanka Cricket.

With the devastation of human lives and properties being affected, Sri Lanka Cricket in this hour of grief has come forward to ease the burden of all those victims affected by this disaster.

SLC in its plan to rebuild the devastated areas, appeals to the General Public and the Cricket loving People throughout the world to contribute towards the re-construction and rehabilitation of Sri Lanka and other affected countries in the region.

Further, I take this opportunity to thank the Cricketing Authorities and the Cricketers of the World for agreeing to Organize and Participate two Cricket matches to raise funds for the Tsunami victims.
