The tournament was originally scheduled to start in August but had to be resecheduled twice due to the COVID-19 regulations in the country. At first, it was expected to start from 14 November but was pushed back one week more so that the foreign players can undergo the compulsory 14-day quarantine.
LPL teams and squads were picked by the five franchises from 438 players, 75 of whom were overseas players on 19 October 2020. On 26th October, five foreign players pulled out of their respective LPL squads. David Miller, Dawid malan and Faf du Plessis have become unavailable because of the limited-over series between South Africa and England which will start from November 27. Andre Russell has pulled out due to an injury. The fifth player, 35-year-old Manvinder Bisla hasn’t provided any reason for his exclusion.
