COLOMBO: Sri Lanka Cricket, which has had a more than troubled run as far as its IPL templated T20 tournament Lanka Premier League is concerned, has announced the launch of the Lanka T10 League.
SLC’s commercial partner for the Lanka T10 League is TTen Global Sports, promoters of the well established Abu Dhabi T10, which will have its sixth season early next year.
“The introduction of the fastest cricketing competition in Sri Lanka is definitely a great addition to our cricketing calendar, and we are happy to be a part of the forward journey of the game, which continues to evolve to be on par with the changing dynamics in the global sporting arena, and I wish to commend TTen Global Sports for its role in this latest initiative,” said SLC president Shammi Silva.
“We are extremely happy to announce the launch of the Lanka T10 League, which is the shortest format of the game, and I am confident that this competition will provide entertainment and excitement to the fans, quality competition for the players, and valuable exposure for the stakeholders,” SLC secretary Mohan de Silva added.
“We are delighted to launch the world’s fastest format of cricket, the Lanka T10 League in Sri Lanka, which is a landmark move being the first full member board to launch this format. SLC has always supported Tten since its inception in 2017 and we look forward to building further on this partnership,” Shaji Ul Mulk, chairman of TTen Global Sports, commented.
