The Lanka Premier League was started in 2020 and has since been played with five teams. This T20 tournament has nurtured a lot of young talents from Sri Lanka, like Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana.

The fifth edition of the Lanka Premier League recently concluded in Sri Lanka, where many ICC officials were present, including ICC chairman Greg Barclay and over 100 ICC board members.
