The inaugural edition of the Lanka T10 League will be held from December 12 to 23, 2023. The tournament, which was initially planned to be held in June 2023, was shifted to December, as Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) deemed the ‘December window’ as the most appropriate to conduct the league, as the timing will complement Sri Lanka’s Domestic and International cricket calendars.
Lanka T10 League, Sri Lanka’s newest addition to its annual cricket calendar, will feature some of the finest international stars along with Sri Lanka’s top international stars. The action-packed competition will also provide opportunities for the brightest young talents in the country to mix, mingle, and play along with international stars.
“I am extremely confident that this tournament will become a success story and help Sri Lanka Cricket keep abreast with the evolving trends of the game,” said Shammi Silva, President, Sri Lanka Cricket.
The tournament will feature six men’s teams and four women’s teams, covering regional cricket epicentres, with each team consisting of a squad of 16 players, along with six foreign players. The Lead Event Rights Partner for the event is TTen Sports Management and TTen Global Sports together with Innovative Production Group FZE (IPG)) as a consortium.
“We are thrilled to bring the exciting brand of T10 cricket to Sri Lanka, and we thank SLC for their support. This league is much more significant as it is licensed by a popular full member like SLC,” said Shaji ul Mulk, Chairman of TTen Global Sports, representing the Event Rights Partner.
The matches will be played in some of Sri Lanka’s top international cricket venues and under lights.
