CricketDirect, the world’s largest stockist of top cricket gear, sponsored special awards at this year’s Battle of the Blues.

CricketDirect donated over £500 worth of cricket gear to the Best Bowler, Best Batsman, Best Fielder and the Man of the Match at the 132nd Royal-Thomian Big Match. The gear consisted of a top of the line Adidas Elite cricket bat (type used by the likes of Ian Bell), Adidas batting pads, Adidas batting gloves, Canterbury base layer and Adidas protection wears.

Established in the UK in 1995, CricketDirect believes that the Sri Lankan market has huge potential in which to expand, with orders already exceeding £20,000 annually coming from Sri Lanka. The one-stop retailer brings the very best and latest cricket equipment to keen cricketers at every level. Their unbeatable product range is offered at basement-level prices; on average 20 per cent cheaper than its retail competitors.

Their website, www.cricketdirect.com, has been ranked as the 40,000 biggest site in terms of traffic. From April 2011, Sri Lankan customers will be able to shop on CricketDirect.com with their currency of choice be it Sri Lankan rupees, Pound Sterling, Euro or even in US Dollars. With the very competitive UK exchange rate, there has never been a better time to take advantage of CricketDirect’s already low prices!

CricketDirect is working with the UK Trade and Investment section at the British High Commission, Colombo to expand their operations in Sri Lanka.
