LPL 2024 set to take place between July 1 and July 21

The fifth edition of the Lanka Premier League is set to be played from July 1 to July 21, which means the tournament will clash with Major League Cricket and the Hundred. That created the fear of failing to attract more foreign talents to the shore.

According to a Sri Lanka Cricket release, the first round will have 20 matches, while the final round will have four matches, including Qualifier 1 & Qualifier 2 and the Eliminator. Each team will consist of a minimum of 20 players and a maximum of 24 players, with six overseas players.

Last year also, the tournament clashed with Major League Cricket and the Hundred, but thanks to the local flavour it has, the tournament has gained wide popularity among fans. 

While Jaffna won the first three seasons of the tournament, B-Love Kandy won the 2023 LPL.
