The Lanka Premier League 2021, which is scheduled to start from 29 July 2021, has been rescheduled to be held from 19 November to 12 December 2021.
The Governing Council of the Lanka Premier League is of the view that rescheduling the tournament will enable more players from leading cricket-playing nations to take part in the league.
The Council made this decision after assessing that at least one similar premier league and several international tours will be played among the cricketing nations during August 2021, during the period, which the LPL 2nd edition was expected to be played.
The Innovative Production Group, the LPL Event Rights Holder, supports the decision of the SLC.
