Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced their inaugural ten-over competition, which will be called Lanka T10 and will take place from December 12-23. The competition will take place in Colombo, and the auction of players is scheduled to take place on November 10th. In addition to that, organizing a women's T10 league for the same time period is also on the agenda.

"Cricket has been continuing to evolve and T10 is the latest form to enter the fray, and is becoming a popular format in the game. We are delighted to be a part of this newer venture, and are confident that the initial version of Lanka T10 will be a success story.,” SLC president Shammi Silva said in a press release.

SLC, in conjunction with the T Ten Sports Management organization, will be the ones in charge of organizing the Lanka T10 competition. These are the same people that organized the Abu Dhabi T10 and the Zim-Afro T10 competitions. Another one of their offerings is the United States Master T10 competition.

"We have not only established T10 as a legitimate format of the game over the years, but also the most entertaining one," Shaji Ul Mulk, Chairman T Ten Sports, said about the partnership.
