Officials also noted that hosting World Cup matches at SSC will boost the venue’s international profile and further strengthen Colombo’s standing as a key hub of global cricket. With excitement building, the historic ground is set to shine under the World Cup spotlight, adding new memories to Sri Lanka’s rich cricketing heritage.
