Michael Clarke Joins Lanka Premier League 2024 as Brand Ambassador

Former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has been named the brand ambassador for the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024. The tournament will take place from July 1 to 21, featuring five teams: Colombo Strikers, Dambulla Sixers, Galle Marvels, Jaffna Kings, and Kandy.

Clarke, who has a distinguished cricket career, expressed his excitement about returning to Sri Lanka and supporting the growth of Sri Lankan cricket. He said, “It’s an honour to be in Sri Lanka for the LPL and I have very fond memories here as one of my first Australian tours was an Under-19 World Cup in this country. I loved it as a player and now have the opportunity to be a brand ambassador for a wonderful tournament, so, I am excited to see some young faces who can be the face of Sri Lankan cricket in the coming time. This tournament is very important as it will help grow Sri Lankan cricket as well.”

The LPL will feature three weeks of exciting matches, with the five franchises playing each other twice at three iconic venues in Colombo, Dambulla, and Kandy, followed by the playoffs.
