As a result of the arrest, under Sri Lanka’s Prevention of Offences Related to Sports Act, the Thunders franchise was terminated by Sri Lanka Cricket and the IPG group (which runs the tournament), on Wednesday. Although the scheduled start of the next LPL is a little over five weeks away, IPG has announced that the tournament will go ahead with its “full schedule and roster of matches, featuring five teams.”
Through the course of its history, the LPL has struggled to hold on to its franchise owners. In fact, Dambulla’s next owner would be the fifth owner of that franchise in five years, with previous teams having been called Dambulla Aura, Dambulla Giants and Dambulla Viiking.
“IPG has always upheld the highest standards of propriety and integrity as the Event Rights Partner of the Lanka Premier League,” IPG said in the same statement. “Our dedication to maintaining these standards remains unwavering. We assure all players, fans, and stakeholders that the league’s integrity and the spirit of cricket will be preserved throughout the tournament.”
The tournament is scheduled to run from July 1 to July 21. Matches will be played in Pallekele, Dambulla, and Colombo.
