Former Cricketers were continuously?emphasizing the importance of minimizing the number of teams in the domestic structure to ensure quality players make it to the national side. And to answer the call, Sri Lanka Cricket has ultimately decided to reintroduce the four day Super Provincial Tournament comprising of only four teams.?

The Sri Lanka Super Provincial Four Day Tournament will begin on March 30, 2018 and conclude on April 24, 2018.

Four teams, namely Team Colombo, Team Galle, Team Kandy and Team Dambulla will include a total of 80 cricketers, not necessarily from their respective provinces.?

Each team will play a pink ball day/night test in the process. Matches are scheduled to be held in FTZ Katunayake, Rangiri Dambulla and the Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium in Hambantota. Dinesh Chandimal (Colombo), Suranga Lakmal (Galle), Angelo Mathews (Kandy) and Dimuth Karunaratne (Dambulla) will lead each side.?
