The pandemic has hit us harshly, becoming hindrance to many of the events we were looking forward to in the year 2020.
But in the wake of COVID-19 and the countries trying to fight back against it in order to bring back the normalcy, Sri Lanka Cricket Executive Committee at the meeting held on 27 July granted approval to conduct the inaugural Lanka Premier League T20 Tournament. The grand tournament will be held from 28 August to 20 September 2020. Meanwhile, bidding for the Event’s Title Holder is to close on 30 July and the schedule of the matches will soon be released.
