The Colombo Colts Cricket Club, one of Sri Lanka’s most historic and respected cricket institutions has forged a strategic partnership with Lanka IOC PLC as the official sponsor for the forthcoming season – a significant step toward empowering the future of Sri Lankan cricket.

For generations, Colts CC has been at the forefront of developing national-level talent. The club boasts a remarkable legacy of producing some of the country’s finest cricketers, including modern-day icons Angelo Mathews, Dunith Wellalage, Dilshan Madushanka, Akila Dananjaya and Dhananjaya Lakshan, alongside legends such as Chaminda Vaas, Romesh Kaluwitharana and Roy Dias.

This new partnership, powered by Lanka IOC’s flagship brand Servo Lubricants, will enhance the club’s capacity to support and develop players through increased resources and national level exposure.

“On behalf of the Colombo Colts Cricket Club, I extend our sincere gratitude to Lanka IOC for coming on board as the official sponsor of our cricket team. We are proud to welcome Lanka IOC into the Colts family. Their longstanding commitment to the development of Sri Lankan cricket resonates deeply with our own mission — to nurture exceptional talent and produce athletes who are not only champions on the field but also ambassadors of the sport off it,” said Colombo Colts CC president Nishantha Ranatunga.

Lanka IOC PLC Managing Director Dipak Das shared his vision: “At Lanka IOC, we are deeply honoured to partner with this prestigious club. This partnership is not just a corporate sponsorship, but a passionate investment in the growth and elevation of Sri Lankan cricket — a sport that unites, inspires, and energises the soul of this nation.”
