Sri Lanka. The T20 League was scheduled to be held from August 1 to 21. Sri Lanka is currently grappling with an enormous financial crisis and civil unrest for weeks. However, the situation worsened with president Gotabaya Rajapaksa fleeing the country on a military jet. "This decision was taken by the SLC, following a request made by the Innovative Production Group FZE (IPG), the Rights Holder of the tournament, which cited the current ‘economic situation,' in the country, as not conducive to hosting the tournament," Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement.
