LOVI Ceylon, in collaboration with Events by Shero and Cinnamon Grand Colombo, hosted a heartfelt send-off dinner in honour of Sri Lanka’s national women’s cricket team ahead of their participation in the ICC Women’s World Cup. The celebration was held at the Atrium of Cinnamon Grand Hotel, Colombo, on the eve of the tournament’s commencement across Sri Lanka and India.

The evening was marked by elegance, pride, and national spirit as players, coaches, and key stakeholders gathered to acknowledge the commitment and excellence of the women’s team. Attendees included representatives from Sri Lanka Cricket, LOVI Ceylon, and well-wishers from across the community.

As part of the celebration, LOVI Ceylon unveiled the ceremonial attire designed exclusively for the team’s international appearance. The custom designs are a continuation of the brand’s mission to define a contemporary Sri Lankan fashion identity and honour national pride through modern craftsmanship. The brand has previously styled the national squad for global platforms including the Olympics in Tokyo and Paris.

The send-off event opened with a welcome address by LOVI Ceylon Founder, Asanka de Mel, followed by a traditional blessing and cultural performance to wish the athletes success. The ambiance of the Atrium was transformed into a tribute to the strength, determination, and grace of Sri Lanka’s finest women cricketers.

Speaking at the event, Asanka de Mel shared his sentiments, stating, “Each of these athletes, their families and coaches have toiled for more than a decade or more to get to this level. They bring glory to Sri Lanka. We wanted to honour them, celebrate them, and wish them success. Our Women. Our World Cup.”

The event not only celebrated athletic excellence but also stood as a testament to the growing recognition of women’s sports in Sri Lanka. Through the collaboration, LOVI Ceylon underscored its commitment to amplifying national moments and representing Sri Lankan heritage on global stages.

Asanka further added, “I am grateful to Sri Lanka Cricket for this opportunity and the truly amazing event partners Ramani Fernando Salons, Dimitri Cruz Photography, Impress Events, Events by Shero and Cinnamon Grand Hotel for their support and magic.”

The atmosphere of unity and pride echoed throughout the evening, reinforcing the collective aspiration of the nation behind the women representing Sri Lanka on the international stage.

As Sri Lanka prepares to co-host the prestigious ICC Women’s World Cup, this gesture by LOVI Ceylon and its partners sets a powerful tone of encouragement and national solidarity.
