The ‘Player Auction’ for the upcoming Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 cricket tournament will be held tomorrow in Colombo.
Sri Lanka Cricket says 420 cricketers are to be presented for the ‘Player Auction’ out of which 154 are from Sri Lanka and the remaining 266 are overseas players.
Franchise owners have been permitted to retain or enter into individual contracts with players prior to the Player Auction. Teams are allowed to do so under two methods for a maximum of six cricketers.
Teams will have a US$ 500,000 budget at the Player Auction. Players can be retained by franchises, by deducting their value from the US$500,000 allocated for the Player Auction and entering into the auction with the remaining money.
