Sri Lankan Cricket has received US$2.5million grant from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2012. ICC has given this amount to help Sri Lankan board to upgrade the stadium facilities.

“The required equipment includes new pitch covers, and supersoppers and rollers, which had been transported in between venues during previous tournaments but cannot be moved from place to place during the World Twenty20 due to the hectic match schedule. We want to make each venue self-sufficient.”SLC treasurer Nuski Mohamed said.
