The tournament, originally scheduled for December 2025, was postponed to allow sufficient time to prepare the host venues for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which Sri Lanka will co-host with India in February-March 2026.
SLC stated that the five-team tournament, Sri Lanka’s premier domestic T20 competition, will return to a mid-year window, as in several previous editions, ensuring better scheduling and venue readiness.
