SLPL Schedule and Time table of 2012

In fact, the tournament was scheduled to be played in 2011. In May 2011, Sri Lanka Cricket planned to organize the tournament with 7 teams, each representing a province. It was to be held from July 19 to August 4 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. However, the BCCI refused to let the Indian players participate in the tournament. Furthermore, allegations of corruption and incompetence by SLC put the tournament at serious risk. So, the tournament was postponed to 2012.

The 7 teams participating in SLPL 2012 include Basnahira (Captain: Tillakaratne Dilshan) from Western Province, Kandurata (Captain: Kumar Sangakkara) from Central Province, Nagenahira (Captain: Shahid Afridi) from Eastern Province, Ruhuna (Captain: Lasith Malinga) from Southern Province, Uthura (Captain: Muttiah Muralitharan) from Northern Province, Uva (Captain: Chris Gayle) from Uva Province and Wayamba (Captain: Mahela Jayawardene) from North Western Province.

  1. Do not waste money on this. This tournament will never bring a good thing to Sri Lanka. It only waste time and money of the people.
