An opportunity for bidders to own and manage own teams

The forthcoming provincial tournament, the leading cricket tournament in the country is scheduled to be staged in February 2010.

Next year's competition will have the full participation of national players and all new hopefuls and the level of competition is expected to be of a very high standard in line with international stature.

In order to attract public and corporate interest, a brand new franchise scheme is proposed for this year's tournament which gives bidders an opportunity to own their own team, brand their players clothing, player endorsement of their merchandise and also the rights for groundbranding.

Extensive media coverage will be given at each game; hence the corporate sector is assured of public interest among, both fans and the public.

Franchise holders will be given team photo opportunities and host of other benefits. SLC is optimistic that the new scheme introduced will pave the way for bidders and interested parties to be a part of the franchise on a long-term basis with the governing body.
