The sixth edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) will take place from December 1 to 23, featuring 24 days of action-packed T20 cricket — the longest season in the tournament’s history.
The third season of the LPL was initially slated to be held in August, but the economic crisis engulfing the island nation had forced a postponement last month.
Kandy Tuskers, Galle Gladiators, Dambulla Hawks, Colombo Kings and Jaffna Stallions are the five teams participating in the tournament.
Gayle and Plunkett were set to join former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis and Nuwan Pradeep at Kandy Tuskers.
Along with Irfan Pathan, Andre Russell, Faf du Plessis, David Miller and David Malan are among the other overseas players who have pulled out of tournament.
