The five-team tournament will be played in three international venues, according to the SLC.
“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 SLC highlighted.
