Embarking on a new beginning, Sri Lanka Insurance General and the Mercantile Cricket Association (MCA) have forged a strategic partnership leveraging the strengths of both entities, offering distinctive collaborative benefits to MCA members.


At a press conference held recently to announce the partnership, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was exchanged between Mahesh de Alwis, President, Mercantile Cricket Association, and Priyantha Perera, Chief Operating Officer of Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation General Limited. In attendance were Mahesh Gamage, Assistant General Manager, Corporate Business and Marketing, Chaminda Gunasinghe, Deputy General Manager, Support Services and Lalith de Silva, Deputy General Manager, Head of Distribution, representing Sri Lanka Insurance General. Rohan Somawansa, General Secretary, and Hasitha Dassanayake, Chairman Sponsorship Committee, were present on behalf of MCA.


This is the first partnership of its kind, with Sri Lanka Insurance General offering MCA members a special motor insurance package with exclusive benefits and discounts. At the event, MCA presented 10 complementary MCA membership privilege cards to the staff of Sri Lanka Insurance General.


Commenting on the partnership, Priyantha Perera, Chief Operating Officer, Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation General Limited, stated, “We are delighted to enter into this pioneering partnership with MCA. Their valuable service to cricket and society mirrors Sri Lanka Insurance General’s 62-year commitment to the nation. With MCA’s extensive plans for the future, we see great potential to work together meaningfully for years to come in a mutually beneficial relationship and serve their members. This strategic initiative reflects our customer-centric mission of constantly evolving our offerings to meet customer needs.”


Mahesh de Alwis, President, Mercantile Cricket Association, added, “Behind the success of MCA is governance, transparency and accountability. We have vast plans for the next 5-10 years such as ground renovations, upgrading practice facilities and more. I believe Sri Lanka Insurance General, with its long-term vision, is the ideal partner to come on this journey with us. Any investment in MCA and sports overall is an investment in society. Our members will appreciate the specially curated benefits package from Sri Lanka Insurance General tailored to their specific needs.
