Cricketing activities are on the verge of resumption in Sri Lanka, as the inaugural Lanka Premier League is all set to commence this Thursday in Hambantota. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, all matches of LPL 2020 will take place at the same venue.
Five franchises - the Dambulla Viiking, the Jaffna Stallions, the Kandy Tuskers, the Colombo Kings, and the Galle Gladiators - will play in LPL 2020. Many big names of international cricket enrolled themselves for the LPL 2020 Draft. However, over the last few days, some players have pulled out of the competition owing to various reasons.
Still, LPL 2020 promises to be an entertaining competition, with four Indian players announced to play. Former Indian pacers Manpreet Gony, Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel and Sudeep Tyagi will be in action, while South African speedster Dale Steyn will also play in this tournament.
