Rangiri Dambulla

International Cricket Stadium

Situated in the centre of Sri Lanka's cultural triangle, the historic capital of Dambulla is blessed with sunny, benign weather conditions.

The vast Dambulla lake framed by a range of hills beyond, makes this a spectacular location for the 5 star hotels that occupy this picturesque area. It is also, the location of the country’s newest cricket stadium.

Truly a state of the art stadium that is designed and equipped to make full use of its 60-acre setting, the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium accommodates 30,000 spectators in its 5-storied main stadium and two capacious wings.

The specially designed suspended roof of its grand stand gives an unobstructed and panoramic view of the action on the pitch.

The benefits of such a stadium are many. It provides another world-class venue in a popular tourist destination, while giving a much-needed boost for regional cricket with its facilities and grounds.

Its strategic location in the middle of 4 major districts (Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Matale and Kurunegala) will further the cause of regional cricket and will be instrumental in promoting provincial cricket in the North Central, North and East.

This stadium will give access to the people of Jaffna, Batticaloa, Trincomalee and Vavuniya to enjoy cricket.

Due to its scale and size the stadium will require plenty of attention, administration and upkeep, thus providing the people of the area with a host of employment opportunities.

Corporate bodies will also stand to benefit greatly from the stadium through

ownership of customized corporate viewing boxes and environments in the

grandstand as well as strategically placed areas for advertising products and services.
