The Player Auction of the Lanka Premier League 2024, which is Sri Lanka’s topmost domestic T20 League with an international flavor, will be conducted on May 21, 2024. The auction will be held at the Hotel Shangi-La, Colombo starting at noon.
This is the second consecutive year that the Lanka Premier League, which is growing in strength and popularity, is conducting a ‘player auction.’ During the initial three editions, the players were picked by a ‘player draft.’
Every team has the option of having a maximum of 24 and a minimum of 20 players in a squad, while each squad should consist of six overseas players. It will be mandatory to play an U23 player (Sri Lanka) in the playing XI.
The auction will be shown live across TV and digital platforms. The LPL will be conducted from July 1st to 21st, starting in Kandy, then in Dambulla, before heading to Colombo for the business end of the tournament.
