A new franchise-based Twenty20 tournament was introduced by Sri Lanka Cricket called Sri Lanka Premier League by taking an inspiration from Indian Premier League in 2011. Unfortunately, SLC postponed the league last year due to the non-participation of the Indian cricketers. This year would be the inaugural season of the premier Twenty20 cricket competition in Sri Lanka. Finally, Sri Lanka Cricket is very glad to announce the emergence of Sri Lanka Premier League. Probably, it would be organized between the dates of August 10 to August 31. It is announced that the inaugural program will be held at the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy and R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
