MUMBAI: The Sri Lankan cricketers will be donning a new name on their jerseys for the Asia Cup as fantasy sports platform FairPlay News becomes the official national sponsor for the team.
“We are extremely happy to welcome Fairplay News as the official sponsors of the national team during the upcoming Asia Cup and hope that this partnership will augur well for the sports site,” said Ashley de Silva, CEO, Sri Lanka Cricket.
Dasun Shanaka and his 20 member squad will wear the jerseys with the name FairPlay News, a part of the FairPlay Sports, a fast-growing multi-vertical group with its presence in sports news for the Asia Cup that will be held from 27th August in the UAE. FairPlay News is a fairly new entrant in the fantasy sports category.
The Asia Cup was originally scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka, but shifted to the UAE due to political turmoil and the economic crisis in the island nation.
