Hon. Ajith P. Perera asked whether the Minister would engage Sri Lanka Cricket to secure funding and support to upgrade the sports complex for first-class cricket. He noted that the eastern boundary is too short and that Sri Lanka Cricket had previously agreed to fund adjustments, including shifting the indoor facility, given the venue’s strategic location near Colombo.

¶ 01 My second Supplementary Question: This Complex uniquely can host cricket, but one boundary on the eastern side is too short for first‑class cricket. Sri Lanka Cricket earlier agreed to fund adjustments, including shifting the indoor facility slightly to create the correct boundary length. I reconfirmed they still agree. Will you engage Sri Lanka Cricket to secure funding and support to upgrade it for first‑class cricket, given its strategic location near Colombo?
