The National Super League’s 4-day tournament will get underway come Thursday following the completion of the Limited Over leg, concluding yesterday. This too, exactly as the white-ball format, will function as the selection stage for the national side.

Accordingly, the competition starting next week, will see two games being played on a match day, which would be hosted at all test venues. The R. Premadasa Stadium, now complete to stage games after it missed out the 50-over tournament, since it was undergoing a facelift, will return as a host.

At the end of the round robin stage, the team topping the table would take on the No.4 team, while second and third placed teams would battle it out for the second slot in the final. The 4-dayer will start and finish at Galle with the finals slated for April 7.
