Sri Lanka will be led by Danush Dayan and will play their first game against Korea at 12.12 pm Sri Lanka time today, Chinese Taipei at 15.38 pm Sri Lanka time and play their last preliminary round match against Asian heavyweights Japan on the following day at 10.04 am Sri Lanka time.

The company also has a close association with the President’s Gold Cup volleyball, national junior and senior netball tourneys, Premier Football, schools’ cricket and Paralympic sports by powering Sri Lankan contingent to the Olympic and World Paralympic Games.
