The Sri Lankan team was the star attraction at a cricket ball held to raise money for the Indian Ocean Disaster Relief (http://www.iodr.co.uk) and the development of schools cricket in Sri Lanka.

The event was hosted by Grange Hotels (http://www.grangehotels.com) in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral.

This is an overview of the evening, which included keynote speeches, a taste of Sri Lankan culture and the chance for the players - ahead of an important One-Day International series with England - to relax and meet their fans.
