The Sri Lanka Netball Squad teamed up with Yeti as their isotonic hydration partner ahead of the 13th Asian Senior Netball Championships, to be staged in Saudi Arabia in September.  
The Sri Lankan Netballers are chasing a unique record as they look to become the first nation to complete a hat-trick of Asian titles having emerged champions in 2018 and 2022 – both in Singapore.   
Sri Lanka already holds the record of having won the Asian Netball Championships on more occasions than any other country having won the title six times in 1989, 1997, 2001, 2009, 2018 and 2022 respectively. Meanwhile, an 18-member national pool is currently training in preparation for the Asian Senior Netball Championships and the 12-member final squad plus three standby players will be announced in the last week of July.   
The Sri Lanka Team, led by Dulangi Wannithilaka, are set to field a formidable side for this event once again having retained the services of seven experienced players, who were part of the 2022 champion team.  
 As part of the partnership, the Sri Lanka Netball Squad will have access to the Yeti portfolio of sports isotonic products.
