The League will kick off from August 11, 2012 and will be played over three weeks at two venues, Colombo and Kandy. The inaugural edition of this League will feature seven provincial teams in a round-robin league format, with the winner getting a spot in the Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) as one of the teams in the qualifiers.
Since the Mahindra brand is a household name in Sri Lanka, we believe it is the perfect platform to take the message of SLPL, Upali Dharmadasa, president of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said.
There will be 24 games in the SLPL with each team allowed to field a maximum of four foreign players per game with the remaining being local players.
West Indian’s Chris Gayle, Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi, New Zealand’s Jacob Oram, Australians Brad Hodge and Dirk Nannes are some of the star attractions of this year SLPL.
