The third edtion of Lanka Premier League (LPL) has been postponed, because of the economic situation in Sri Lanka.
The tournament had to start from August 1 and a draft also took place few weeks back, however, problems with securing adequate sponsorship and cooling franchise interest have led to the postponement. The future of the competition will depend on Sri Lanka's economic conditions
"This decision was taken by the SLC, following a request made by the Innovative Production Group FZE (IPG), the rights-holder of the tournament, which cited the current 'economic situation,' in the country, as not conducive to hosting the tournament," a board release said.
On the other hand, there have been reports of Asia Cup 2022 also moving out of Sri Lanka to UAE. The announcement is expected this week.
