Governing body

edit
Main article:Sri Lanka Cricket

Sri Lanka Cricket (formerly the Board for Cricket Control or BCCSL), is the governing body for cricket in Sri Lanka. It operates theSri Lankan cricket teamandfirst-class cricketwithin Sri Lanka.[54]Sri Lanka Cricket oversees the progress and handling of the major domestic competitions: the First-class tournamentPremier Trophy,theList AtournamentPremier Limited Overs Tournamentand theTwenty20 Tournament.Sri Lanka Cricket also organises and hosts theInter-Provincial Cricket Tournament,a competition where five teams take part and represent four differentprovinces of Sri Lanka.

Most of the regions of Sri Lanka that are rural areas apart from theCapitalcould not produce successful cricketers to the national and international side yet due to the lack of resources and opportunities while only a few major areas such asGalle,Matara,Kandy,Kurunegalausually produce successful cricketers to the national and international side instead of the capital. So the government is trying to distribute the game within the whole country by organizing some programs such as2017–18 Super Four Provincial Tournament.

Team colours

edit

Similar to other Sri Lankan sports teams, the Sri Lankan national cricket team bears blue and yellow as their colours. The bright blue represents the surrounding ocean, while the golden yellow represents the united island as a whole (depicting the sand).[citation needed][dubious–discuss]

In Test matches, the team wears cricket whites, with an optional sweater or sweater-vest with a dark blue and blue V-neck for use in cold weather, such as on Australia, England, and New Zealand tours. The Sri Lankan flag is found on the left side of the jersey's chest with the Test cap number usually below the flag; helmets are a deep blue and the fielder's hat (usually a baseball cap or a wide-brimmed sunhat) is coloured similarly. The sponsor's logo is displayed on the right side of the chest and the sleeve with the Sri Lankan Cricket logo is deployed on the left in test cricket.

Sri Lanka's One Day and Twenty 20 kits vary from year to year with the team wearing its bright blue colour in various shades from kit to kit with yellow stripes on shoulders and waist. Historically, Sri Lanka's kits have had shades of bright blue and golden yellow. In theWorld Series Cupin 1984–85, Sri Lanka wore yellow uniforms with blue stripes.

For official ICC tournaments such asICC Cricket World Cup,ICC World Twenty20andAsia Cup,"SRI LANKA" is written on the front of the jersey in place of the sponsor logo, with the sponsor logo being placed on the sleeve. A remarkable change in the colour of the kit of Sri Lanka can be found during the2007 ICC World Twenty20edition in South Africa. The team-coloured with pale silver and the kit has never been seen since then in the team. Since then, the Sri Lankan kit has never changed from the usual brilliant blue colour and very fine yellow stripes. For2016 ICC World Twenty20,orange and green colours in the flag are also included in the jersey. In2017 ICC Champions Trophypool game against India, the kit changed to the mostly yellow coloured shirt with stripes of blue and usual blue trousers.

At the top-right side of the jersey, instead of the logo, there can be seen Sri Lanka's flag.

Sri Lanka flag on the jersey

In 2019 for the2019 Cricket World Cup,the Sri Lankan jersey was made from recycled plastic sea waste from the Sri Lankan coast. On the side of the blue background, there is a drawing of a turtle on the shirt.[78] However, for non-ICC tournaments and bilateral and tri-nation matches, the sponsor logo features prominently on the front of the shirt.

edit

Sri Lanka's cricket team's logo is a golden lion with a sword bearing on the right arm and the background is bright blue. The name "Sri Lanka Cricket" is written below the lion. It's seen on the practice jersey at the top-right side.

SLC cricket team logo on the practice jersey

In Test cricket, the logo in the cap is slightly changed, where the lion with a sword is surrounded by petals of lotus and then a blue circle surrounds the crest and a yellow circle surrounds the blue circle, present in thecoat of arms.This logo is seen on the front of the caps and helmets in ODIs and T20Is.
