The player auction for the inaugural edition of the Lanka T10 Super League will take place on November 10 in Colombo. Originally set to play in 2023, the tournament was postponed due to the financial crisis in Sri Lanka.
The 2024 edition is scheduled from December 12 to 22 and will feature as many as six franchise teams. Each franchise must select at least 15 players, but it should not go above 17.
“With the player registration deadline closing on November 1 and the direct player signing deadline on November 5, each franchise must sign six players directly from each category: one Icon player, one Platinum player, one Category A player from Sri Lanka, and one from overseas, similarly from category B, allowing franchises to secure one local and one overseas player,” a release from Lanka T10 Super League, said.
Shammi Silva, President of Sri Lanka Cricket, said, ‘I am confident that the first draft of the Lanka T10 Super League is going to set the platform for an exciting and entertaining tournament, which will add colour to the Sri Lankan cricketing calendar and bring a new experience to our players and fans alike.’
Nawab Shaji Ul Mulk, T Ten Global Sports Founder and Chairman, said, “The draft for the inaugural Lanka T10 Super League marks a significant milestone in our journey to elevate T10 cricket in Sri Lanka. We are excited to see six competitive teams come together, showcasing both local and international talent. This draft is not just about building squads; it’s about creating an exhilarating experience for fans and players alike. We look forward to a thrilling tournament that will put Sri Lanka on the global cricketing map.”
