Lanka Premier League – Player Draft

Hambantota Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium and Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will host all the matches as day and day/night games. Previously, Dambulla Cricket stadium was also mentioned as one of the hosts, but due to the prevailing restrictions as a result of COVID19, the organisers have decided to stick to only 2 venues in this edition of the LPL.

Players unlucky to miss out on LPL draft day

The player draft for the tournament was held on 19th October, with nearly all slots filled by the 5 franchises.
