The Hirdaramani Group and Sri Lanka Netball announce their official partnership for the provision of clothing to the National and Junior teams. The announcement comes as the Sri Lanka National Team heads out to participate in the Netball World Cup 2023 in South Africa.
“We are truly grateful for the generous contribution and support from Hirdaramani. This is the first time these teams have received custom sports kits developed to international standards, and we believe it is an important step as we represent Sri Lanka on a Global Stage. It is also an important recognition of the pride that the Women’s Netball teams bring to the country,” said Victoria Lakshmi, President of Sri Lanka Netball.
Sri Lanka’s women’s netball team is currently ranked 15th in the world. They are the reigning Champions of the Asian Netball Championships, with consecutive wins in 2018 and 2022 (the Asian Championships were not held in between these years), with rankings in the top 3 for all previous Asian Championships. Similarly, they have ranked consistently well in all the World Cups they have played in, starting with 9th place in the first world cup in 1963.
The Junior team is also racking up successes, most recently placing 3rd at the Asian Youth Netball Championship 2023 in South Korea.
“We at Hirdaramani Group firmly believe in the pivotal role that women play in shaping not only their families but also the nation as a whole. Empowering women has always been a central value that drives our organisation. Therefore, extending our support to the Sri Lanka Netball National & Junior teams was a natural choice for us. We take immense pride in the teams and are truly impressed by the unwavering dedication displayed by the players. As they continue on their journey, we eagerly anticipate their ongoing success and achievements.” said Vinod Hirdaramani, Chairman of Hirdaramani Group.
