After getting postponed due to the economic crisis, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board has finally released the fixtures for their domestic marquee tournament. The league will begin on the 6th of December, with defending champions Jaffna taking on Galle, and set to conclude on the 23rd of the month.

The 3rd edition will be played at three venues, namely Hambantota, Kandy and Colombo, that will feature five teams, i.e. Colombo Stars, Dambulla Giants, Galle Gladiators, Jaffna Kings, and Kandy Falcons.

While the day games will begin at 3 PM IST, the night games will get underway at 7:30 PM IST. There would be a total of 24 matches that will be played in three legs.

Previously, the Asia Cup matches were shifted to UAE after the political unrest in the country, with SLC remaining the official host.

"It's my pleasure to announce that the LPL will be held from 6th to 23rd December," said the league's organiser Samantha Dodanwela after confirming the news.
