Home Lands and Mahela Jayawardene Team Up to Make Sri Lanka the Next Global Real Estate Destination
Market Leader Home Lands Group proudly welcomes globally acclaimed cricket legend Mahela Jayawardene as the company’s Brand Ambassador. The news of this partnership comes ahead of the highly anticipated Grand Launch Weekend of Central Park Boulevard Port City Colombo, the largest real estate launch in Sri Lanka, taking place from 12th to 14th June 2026 at Cinnamon Life Colombo.
Widely regarded as one of Sri Lanka’s greatest sporting icons, Mahela Jayawardene has built an extraordinary legacy founded on excellence, leadership, integrity, and achievement. A respected former captain of the Sri Lanka national cricket team, he carved out a distinguished international career spanning nearly two decades, earning global recognition for his contributions to the game both on and off the field.
Throughout his career, Mahela established himself as one of the most accomplished batsmen in cricket history, becoming one of the few players to surpass 10,000 runs in both Test and One Day International cricket. He led Sri Lanka to the ICC Cricket World Cup Final in 2007 and played a pivotal role in some of the nation’s most memorable achievements on the international stage, including the country’s ICC T20 World Cup triumph in 2014. Renowned for his professionalism, strategic thinking, and calm leadership, Mahela’s influence has extended far beyond his playing career.
