History

The Lanka Premier League should have begun in August 2018, but it was postponed because of disruption within Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), the sport's governing body in Sri Lanka. Plans were made to launch the competition in August 2020, but it had to be postponed again because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was finally launched on 26 November 2020.
