The second season of the Lanka Premier League garnered tremendous interest from all corners of the world as Sri Lanka Cricket conducted yet another successful season from December 5 to December 23 in Colombo and Hambantota.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Impressed with the competition, veteran T20 cricketer and Jaffna Kings player Shoaib Malik lauded the organisers of the League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Hats off and big congratulations to IPG Group and Sri Lanka Cricket for organising the tournament. There is a massive improvement in the organisation of the competition as compared to last year. There were a lot of sponsors this year and the big channels broadcasted the tournament, so that shows that everything is going in the right direction."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The all-rounder also thanked the fans for coming to the stadium. "On our way to the stadium from the hotel on the final day, I saw a lot of people going towards the ground. And when I got to the ground, I saw a full house. So, thanks a lot to the fans for coming to the stadium. As players, we want to see a big crowd enjoying the cricket."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Jaffna Kings' captain Thisara Perera said, "It's difficult to host a tournament in a bubble. The second season was much better than the first one. I feel the third edition will be better than this season. I would also like to thank the fans for coming to the stadium. They have got a chance to watch a match in the stadium after a long time."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
