We
look
forward
to
a
top-notch
LPL
tournament
that
will
deliver
all
the
excitement
expected
and
enjoy
wider
participation
from
both
local
and
foreign
fans.”

Sri
Lanka’s
tourism
minister
Harin
Fernando
is
optimistic
that
the
league
will
help
in
boosting
the
country’s
economy
and
will
instill
confidence
among
others
to
come
here
and
enjoy
the
natural
beauty
of
the
island
nation.

He
said,

“The
appetite
for
cricket
in
Sri
Lanka
is
huge
and
it
shows


in
the
fact
that
we
are
being
able
to
organize
the
third
edition
of


the
tournament
despite
the
pandemic
last
year.
This
nation
has
gone


through
a
lot
of
struggles
this
year
as
well,
but
cricket
always


brings
a
smile
to
their
faces
and
motivates
them
to
fight
against
all


the
odds.”


“This
is
what
unifies
this
country.
We
are
happy
that
we
have
been


able
to
play
a
part
in
bringing
joy
to
the
lives
of
the
people
of
Sri


Lanka.
Besides
this,
the
league
will
certainly
help
to
unearth
some
of


the
best
cricketing
talents
in
the
country.
I
am
certainly
looking


forward
to
the
tournament,”

he
added.

Dasun
Shanaka,
captain
of
Dambulla
Aura,
said,

“The
LPL
will
bring


smiles
to
the
people
here.
I
know
people
have
been
through
a
tough
time,


but
I
am
100%
sure
that
the
LPL
will
bring
back
smiles
on
their
faces


because
there
is
one
thing
that
unifies
everybody
in
this
country,
and


that
is
cricket.
We
want
the
fans
to
go
back
to
their
homes
with
a


smile
on
their
face.”
