The Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 player auctions concluded at Colombo earlier today, resulting in exciting updates to the squads as teams gear up for the upcoming season scheduled to commence from July 1. 

LPL is gearing up for its fifth edition this year as the Sri Lanka based franchise T20 league invited five franchises B-Love Kandy, Colombo Strikers, Galle Marvels, Dambulla Thunders and Jaffna Kings to participate in player auctions earlier today at Colombo.

A total of 420 players, including both Sri Lankan and international candidates, entered into the auction. However, besides some notable names, not many free agents attracted an interesting bidding war.

CSK star Matheesha Pathirana was rewarded for his IPL heroics as Colombo Strikers retained him via right-to-match card for a whooping salary of $120,000. Dalle Marvels went all in and even increased their own bid towards the end. 

However, the Strikers averted the risk with the valuable right to match the card. Besides, Isuru Udana finished as the second most expensive buy after Pathirana as Marvels finally bagged a pacer for a $100,000 price.

Karim Janat of Afghanistan happened to be the most expensive international talent, having bagged an $80,000 contract from Dambulla Thunders. 

Overall, the auction concluded successfully, with all teams walking out happily with the squads they had built.
