The Lanka Premier League Board of Directors noted it will be tough for certain elite players since many of them will be involved in the Caribbean Premier League and international matches.
“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 2024, during the period, which the LPL 2nd edition was expected to be played.” the statement added.
Some previous claims were published that the Kashmir Premier League’s unexpected announcement put the LPL on a fix, and the SLC officially ruled the tournament postponed.
