Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) started the domestic cricket season with the National Super League Four-day competition on January 18, Thursday. A total of five districts will take part in the campaign for a period of 11 weekends in 21 games.
Dambulla, Galle, Colombo, Jaffna, and Kandy are the five participating teams in the tournament. Dambulla entered this year’s campaign as defending champions, who defeated Galle by 75 runs in last season's grand finale.
The top two sides at the end of the league phase will move to the grand finale on April 30 to May 3 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. The first two weekends will be very important for all teams as they will be using it as preparations for the one-off Test against Afghanistan on February 2 and the two-match series in Bangladesh in February and March.
Ramesh Mendis will lead Galle, while Pathum Nissanka will captain Kandy with Kamindu Mendis leading Dambulla. Colombo will be led by Kusal Mendis while Dhananjaya de Silva will guide Jaffna.
This campaign will hold a lot of importance as Sri Lanka will play a total of 10 Tests during this calendar year, nine of which are part of ICC World Test Championships.
