Vice President of Sri Lanka Cricket Ravin Wickramaratne has decided to step down from his position as the Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League due to personal reasons.
Wickramaratne, who was responsible for successfully spearheading the initial two editions of the Lanka Premier League including the inaugural edition of 2020, said “It is time to hand over the role to a new hand in order continue the good work we have done.”
Following the resignation of Wickramaratne, Sri Lanka Cricket decided to appoint Samantha Dodanwela as the Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League 2022.
Dodanwela is a Member of the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket and also the Chairman of the Tournament Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket.

Dodanwela is a former first class cricketer and played for SSC during the period of 1991 to 1997. He has also represented the Board President’s XI.
