Island Cricket is a sports website that contains news, photos, videos, blogs, columns and interviews relating to the Sri Lanka cricket team.[1]
Established in 2008, it is one of the oldest cricket websites and the most-popular Sri Lankan cricket website.

The website was adjudged the Best Sports and Entertainment Website in Sri Lanka and has also won the Bronze Award for ‘Best Sri Lankan Website’.[3][4][5]
In 2010, Island Cricket won The Best Entertainment Website award at the Best Web - Sri Lanka web awards.[6][7]
