A board member told Xinhua on the condition of anonymity that Sri Lanka hopes to obtain the services of some of the top names in international cricket for the SLPL which was earlier scheduled to be held last year but had to be postponed.
"We are negotiating with the cricket boards from other countries and we hope we can get down the best players for the tournament to be held in August," the Cricket Board member said.
The Sri Lanka Premier League, which was to be staged last year following the success of the popular Indian Premier League (IPL), had to be postponed after a dispute with the Indian cricket board.
