M. Dilshan, will  lead seven Provincial teams in the forthcoming Sri Lanka T20-Premier  League (SL-T20-PL) Tournament. The seventh captain will be former Sri Lanka vice-captain, Chaminda  Vaas. The Sri Lanka T20 Premier League will feature almost 35  international cricketing stars and will be the first of its kind in Sri  Lanka. The event organisrs, Somerert Entertainment Ventures (SEV) have found  a window for the tournament which is sandwiched between Sri Lanka's  tour of England and Australia's tour of Sri Lanka. The event will kick off on July 15th and will go on for 18 days.  Twenty four hotly contested matches, including the two semi-finals and  the final, will be played at the R. Premadasa Stadium. There will be two  matches on certain days. <img src="http://sports.dailymirror.lk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Khrys-Gayle-inter-241x300.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dashing  opener T. M. Dilshan will lead Basnahira while Kumar Sangakkara  (Kandurata), Mahela Jayawardane (Wayamba), Sanath Jayasuriya (Ruhuna)  and Chaminda Vaas (Uva) will be the other captains. Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi (Nagenahira) and New Zealand skipper  Daniel Vettori (Uthura) have been chosen to lead two provinces that were  isolated from the game for ages due to the civil war. Five overseas players could be registered to a provincial team but  only four will be allowed to play in a match. Sri Lankan national  selectors and cricket authorities have agreed to blood as many  youngsters and almost 70 Sri Lankan cricketers will be registered in the  seven team tournament. Almost all Pakistani national cricketers will be invited to play in  the SLPL. Factually, Sri Lanka was Pakistan's adopted home in the 2011  Cricket World Cup concluded last month as they played all their first  round matches in Sri Lanka. In addition to that, Chris Gayle and the Bravo cousins (Dwayne and  Darren) from West Indies, Pathan brothers (Irfan and Yousuf) from India,  Herschelle Gibbs, David Warner and Shaun Tait will be seen in action on  Sri Lankan soil. The availability of retired great Muttiah Muralitharan is not yet  confirmed but some unconfirmed sources revealed that he is eager to play  in the series. Milind Rege, the tournament manager of the 2011 cricket World Cup  will be in charge of all cricketing matters of the tournament. Rege is a  former Ranji Trophy captain for Mumbai and recently retired from TATA  corporation as a managing committee member.</blockquote>
