Face-lift for R. Premadasa Stadium

Sri Lanka’s premier ODI venue in Colombo – R. Premadasa Stadium is getting a complete face-lift following recommendations by the University of Moratuwa.

An integrity assessment of the venue by the university found that the pavilion blocks A and B forces a serious threat to the safety of the spectators and has advised Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) to close the two pavilion blocks until repairs have been completed.

In addition, stairways of pavilion C and D and the roof also need urgent renovation, given the deterioration in these places, the report adds.
