The Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2023 is all set to organise its first ever auction. The event is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, June 14, with many big names featuring in the auction. It is also worth noting that the fourth edition of the tournament is scheduled to begin on July 31.
A total of 360 players will be up for bidding in the LPL 2023 auction, and it is also understood that the five franchises participating in the event will spend a maximum of US$500,000 each.
It is also worth noting that several players who have already signed with the franchises are pre-selected players. Many big names like Babar Azam, Matthew Wade, Matheesha Pathirana, David Miller, and many more. Furthermore, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina also announced that he would be taking part in the auction as well.
In the previous seasons, the franchises of the LPL used to pick their players from the drafts; the system will finally change in 2023 as they host their first-ever auction. The event will be hosted at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo. The format of the auction will be quite similar to that of the IPL auction as well. Divided into two groups – capped and uncapped players, with each capped player being able to register himself within a base price of $10,000 to $50,000.
