The Lanka Premier League (abbreviated as LPL; Template:Lang-si, Template:Lang-ta) is a professional cricket league in Sri Lanka in Twenty20 format contested every year by teams representing Sri Lankan cities from 2020.[4][5] The league was founded by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) in 2018.[6] In August 2020, Ravin Wickramaratne, the Vice President of SLC was officially appointed as the director of the tournament.[7]
History
Background
Originally, the first season was supposed to be held from 18 August to 10 September 2018,[6][8][9] but postponed multiple times due to administrative issues within SLC.[10][11][12] In June 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, SLC announced the tournament would start on 28 August 2020,[13][14] with 70 overseas players showing interest in playing in the league.[15] After being rescheduled many times due to restrictions for the pandemic, the first season began on 26 November 2020.
Lanka Premier League second edition dates announced; it will start from 30 July and final to be played on 22 August 2021.[16][17] This was later pushed back to a start date of 19 November 2021.
