NDB Bank announced that the captain of Sri Lanka's cricket team, Sanath Jayasuriya, had joined the Bank as Senior Manager, Public Relations and Business Development, with effect from 1st March 2002.

NDB Bank, which began commercial operations in October last year, started from a position of strength derived from an experienced and customer focused team of bankers, state of the art technology and well established banking policies and practices inherited from the acquisition of ABN Amro Colombo, backed by the strength and stability of the National Development Bank. The Bank now offers its customers a full range of commercial banking products, as well as access to the wide range of expertise and resources within the NDB Financial Group.

Jayasuriya, acknowledged as one of most talented cricketers in the modern game, worldwide, said he was very pleased to be part of the new Bank. "I like the energy and dynamism of this Bank, which really seems to offer the best of both worlds, in terms of international service standards as well as solid Sri Lankan roots and know-how. I think it has the potential to be the best bank in the country, and I'm very happy to become a part of its exciting future", he said.

Eran Wickramaratne, CEO of NDB Bank, expressed his pleasure on the latest addition to their team. "Sanath is someone who would add something special to any organisation he works with. He has the qualities that inspire and motivate his colleagues, and knits a team closer together. He has become a national treasure, not only because of his sporting prowess, drive and determination that has got him where he is today, but also because of his leadership qualities, team-player spirit, and ability to connect to people from any and all sections of society; traits that blend well with the values of the Bank. We are very proud that he has chosen to join us at NDB Bank."
