The Lanka T10 Super League: The inaugural edition of the Lanka T10 Super League will be played in the iconic hill capital of Kandy, one of the major venues in Sri Lanka. Accordingly, all games of the tournament will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, starting from December 12 to 22.

The Lanka T10 Super League, the newest addition to Sri Lanka's annual cricketing calendar, will feature the finest international stars alongside top Sri Lankan players, as well as young and emerging stars. Sri Lanka already hosts the Lanka Premier League, a professional T20 league.

In the fray will be six teams -- the Colombo Strikers, Galle Marvels, Hambantota Bangla Tigers, Jaffna Titans, Kandy Bolts, and Negombo Braves -- which will be competing in the tournament.

Each team will have a squad of a maximum of 17 players and a minimum of 15 players, including seven international players, Sri Lanka Cricket informed in a release on Wednesday.

The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, one of Sri Lanka's most scenic venues, has hosted international matches across all formats since its debut in 2010. The ground has proudly staged three ICC Men’s 50-over World Cup matches, nine ICC T20 World Cup games, and three ODI Asia Cup games.

The venue, which is the home of the Kandy Bolts, is also the base for one of four Centres of Excellence of Sri Lanka Cricket, focusing on developing the game.
