The second edition of the Lanka Premier League will take place between July 30 to August 22 this year, Sri Lanka Cricket has said in its media release. The tournament, into its second year, is likely to be continued to be played under biosecure bubble arrangements, SLC has hinted. However, a final decision on the modalities of the tournament will be taken after discussions with the health ministry, SLC said.
"We have found a suitable window to hold this year's edition, whilst we are currently working on finalising the other details of the tournament," said Arjuna de Silva, the chairman of the management committee at the SLC.
"Sri Lanka Cricket will assess the country's situation and discuss with the Ministry of Health closer to the tournament to ascertain the health situation in the country prior to taking a final decision on the competition," the release further stated.
The LPL was launched only last year with five teams fighting for the trophy in Hambantota. Jaffna Stallions went onto become the first champions of the tournament SLC is hoping will prosper over the upcoming seasons.
