Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2021 will begin on 5th December 2021. There will be five teams in action: Galle Gladiators, Jaffna Kings, Dambulla Giants, Kandy Warriors, and Colombo Stars.
There are many talented and international cricketers in each of the five franchises. In total, 600 players - 300 overseas and 300 Sri Lankans were involved in the 'Player Draft,' which was organized virtually with the assistance of five franchise owners and officials from the SLC (Sri Lankan Cricket Board).
With Sri Lanka's national team going through a difficult time lately, the board would like LPL (Lanka Premier League) to produce quality young talents. They'll also get to share the dressing room with some of the best cricketers. It will be interesting to see how the tournament turns out.
In the league stage of the tournament, each team will face each other twice. Four teams from the league will enter the playoffs. The top two teams will compete in Qualifier 1 for a place in the final, while the third and fourth teams will face off in Eliminator 1. The winner of Eliminator and loser of Qualifier 1 will face off in Qualifier 2 to determine the other finalist.
