Capital Insurance Group Limited

General Manager of Cricket PNG, Tony Naidu, thanked CIG for partnering with them for the first time during the height of the pandemic.

“With so much global uncertainty, it meant so much for Cricket PNG,” outlined Naidu.

“Now as we move forward with more cricket being played internationally and domestic initiatives increasing, it is an honour to have Capital Insurance confirmed as our partner for a second year.”

Under this support, the Pacific’s leading insurer will be taking care of the team’s medical and travel insurance giving them peace of mind as they focus on their roles at the Games.

“We want the team to be focused and not worry about other issues so we are pleased to provide this support and be part of the Team and the Games,” said chief insurance officer David Lee.

The cover is part of Capital Insurance Group’s sponsorship support for Team PNG which protects the team members and their cargo for the duration of the Games period.

The partnership, which was made official yesterday, will see Capital Insurance cover PNGOC’s and Team PNG’s insurance needs up to 2020.

The sponsorship is from 2017 to 2020, with the possibility of extending it further. This means all PNG Olympic Committee insurance requirements, as well as international Games attended by Team PNG athletes and officials, are covered during this period.

President of the PNGOC, Sir John Dawanincura, welcomed Capital Insurance and described it as another important partnership for the PNGOC.
