Big stars to play in LPL second edition

On Oct 10, 2021

Big stars such as Chris Gayle, Andre Russel, David Malan, Francois Du Plessis, Shahid Afridi and Shoib Malik are among the 677 registered players for the second edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL).

The 2021 season of the LPL was originally planned to be held in July-August but was postponed to December due to the unavailability of foreign players in that window.

According to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) all registered players will be included in the LPL Player Draft which is likely to be held on October 29.

Five franchise teams will once again battle for the LPL title at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium in Hambantota.

Last time, Jaffna Stallions led by Thisara Perera emerged champions defeating Galle Gladiators in the final.
