Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has issued an ultimatum to the IPG Group—its long-standing Event Right Holder of the Lanka Premier League (LPL)—to settle the outstanding payments before the start of the sixth edition in July. The IPG Group, headed by Indian businessman Anil Mohan, holds the events rights of LPL for 10 years for an annual fee of US$ 1,925,000 with a 10 per cent incremental increase. Though SLC refused to reveal the amount the IPG owes to the Sri Lankan Board, it was confirmed that Mohan had been asked to clear all payments due to SLC before the start of the sixth season on July 25. “We have formally asked him to settle the dues,” said SLC CEO Ashley de Silva. However, in the event of a further delay, SLC could deduct it from the fees payable by SLC to the IPG under the Production Services Agreement in relation to the inbound tours. The IPG Group is the Production Services Provider of SLC. The sixth edition of the LPL is scheduled to run from July 25 to August 25, but the tournament faces uncertainty due to the mounting financial crisis involving, rights payments, franchise payments and player compensation. SLC recently terminated the franchise agreements of the Jaffna Kings and Colombo Strikers for “violating contractual obligations”. According to these sources, the franchises failed to pay the third and final instalment of player payments—representing 40 percent of agreed compensation—within two weeks of tournament completion, which the IPG Group has to absorb now. The failure of these franchises to meet their commitments has created a domino effect, placing additional financial pressure on Mohan as the event rights holder. He has been forced to step in and personally cover the outstanding player payments, creating a significant financial burden that has left him unable to meet his own obligations to SLC. “He (The IPG Group) has had to pay the players following the termination of those two franchises. Also they had to put the entire bill for the Kandy team once when it didn’t have an owner,” said a source, explaining the circumstances which may have led to the delayed payments. SLC’s primary focus appears to be revenue generation from this tournament, as evidenced by their substantial right holder fee. This year, following a 10 percent annual increase, the fee has reached approximately USD 2.5 million—an exorbitant amount for a tournament of this scale. When the governing body demands such high fees, rights holders inevitably transfer these costs to team owners, creating an unsustainable economic model. This financial imbalance is precisely what has led to the current predicament. The financial crisis highlights the ongoing challenges facing cricket’s domestic T20 leagues, where franchise sustainability and player payment security remain persistent issues. The LPL, which began in 2020, has struggled with similar financial difficulties in previous seasons. 08-01-2025, 10:52 AM

The Lanka Premier League 2025 will be played in November–December. Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce that the 6th edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) will take place from November 27 to December 23, 2025. The matches will be played across three premier international venues: RPICS, Colombo; PICS, Pallekele; and RDICS, Dambulla. “The idea to conduct the LPL during this time frame is aimed at aligning the tournament with the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026,” said Mr. Samantha Dodanwela, Tournament Director, LPL. The LPL, Sri Lanka’s flagship domestic T20 tournament with an international appeal, serves as a dynamic platform for the country’s top first-class cricketers to compete alongside and against international stars. Since the inaugural edition in 2020, the Lanka Premier League has been held annually and has become a vital fixture in Sri Lanka’s cricketing calendar. 08-02-2025, 01:17 AM
