Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce the conducting of the 4th edition of the Lanka Premier League from July 31 to August 22, 2023.
The five-team tournament will be played in three international venues.
“We have decided to hold the tournament during July and August this year, as conducting the tournament during this period gives us the best possible opportunity to attract top international talent and also suits well with Sri Lanka’s international cricket calendar,” said Mr. Samantha Dodanwela, Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League.
The shift of the LPL to the July–August period also marks the league’s return to its originally planned “window.”
The Lanka Premier League is Sri Lanka’s top-most T20 domestic competition with an international flavor.
Each team in the tournament will consist of 20 players, with 14 Sri Lankans and six overseas players.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is the governing body for cricket in Sri Lanka. Originally registered as the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka on June 30, 1975, it was renamed Sri Lanka Cricket in 2003.
