The teams have included some of the finest talent from all around the globe in their roster during the draft that was held on Sunday, 10 November in Colombo and in the pre-signings.

Colombo Jaguars who had their icon player, former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews present at the draft, have roped in left-arm pacer Tymal Mills and Aamer Jamal.

The Galle Marvels have a blend of experienced campaigners and some young blood. With Maheesh Theekshana as the icon player and Shakib Al Hasan being there in the squad in the platinum category, the addition of someone like Jeffrey Vandersay adds more fuel to their bowling department.

Hambantota Bangla Tigers have some prominent names in the unit who have played a lot of shorter-format cricket all around the globe. The franchise has included the likes of Dushmantha Chameera, Richard Gleeson, Mohammad Shahzad and Soumya Sarkar alongside Dasun Shanaka, Kusal Perera and Hazratullah Zazai.

Jaffna Titans have put their weight behind some old school boys. Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir and all-rounder David Wiese were picked up by the Titans during the player draft.

Amir can prove lethal with his left-arm pace, while Wiese will play a key role both with the bat and ball. Along with them, youngster Dunith Wellalage has found a place for himself in the squad. He has got a decent start to his international career in white-ball formats for Sri Lanka and is a promising talent.

Kandy Bolts have added two of the most talented openers in the line up. The Bolts have Pathum Nissanka and Saim Ayub in the side and both have the potential to provide brisk starts to the team. The Bolts have also acquired the services of Shahnawaz Dahani, who is known for his express pace.
