IFS develops and delivers enterprise software solutions for companies around the world that manufacture and distribute goods, build and maintain assets, and manage service-focused operations.
IFS is one of the leading software development companies in the country and an integral part of IFS’s global operations. Today IFS employs over 1,500 staff in Sri Lanka working with product research and development, sales, implementation, consulting services, and product support.
Under the agreement, IFS will partner with Sri Lanka Cricket with effect from 08th to 27th June 2021, during which the Sri Lanka National T20 team will play 03 T20i matches against England.
The 03 T20i matches will be played on the 23rd, 24th, and 26th June 2021.
The first two games will be played at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, and the final match at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton.
The T20i series is a part of Sri Lanka’s white-ball tour to England, which will also see both teams playing a 03 match ODI series.
Mr. Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket commenting on the partnership said, “We are happy to see IFS coming on board to partner Sri Lanka Cricket, and this partnership, which is in a format where speed and agility plays a critical role in winning, will provide greater visibility for the enterprise solutions provider.’
