Colombo: Sri Lanka’s cricket board on Tuesday postponed by three months the new premier league tournament as health authorities insisted on a two-week quarantine for foreign players. Sri Lanka Cricket had announced last month that it hoped to resume top-level cricket with the Lanka Premier League (LPL) from August 28 with the participation of 70 international players. "We asked for a three-day quarantine period, but the health authorities insisted on 14 days,” a cricket official told AFP. "Under those restrictions, it is not feasible to hold the tournament this month.” (AFP)
