The third season of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) will start on July 31st. The competition will include five squads and each team will comprise 20 players, out of which there would be six foreigners. Recently, the draft was held to conclude the squads for the upcoming campaign. The Indian Premier League is arguably the best T20 league at the moment. Many players participating in LPL will look to do well so that they land a contract for IPL 2023. Some of the already existing IPL players from popular teams such as Royal Challengers Bangalore players will also take part in the event. Here, we take a look at the total number of RCB players who will be playing in the Lanka Premier League 2022.

Wanindu Hasaranga – Kandy Falcons
Royal Challengers Bangalore had a good campaign in IPL 2022. The management followed the strategy of hiring some elite foreigners to fill the overseas quota. Barring one of them, no one will take part in the Lanka Premier League 2022
Wanindu Hasaranga was the leading wicket-taker for RCB in IPL
Kandy Falcons will be under pressure to perform well
Kandy is an important place when it comes to Sri Lankan cricket. However, the fans of the franchise have not been treated to good cricket in the last two editions. Known as “Kandy Warriors” earlier, the team finished last in both the editions of LPL so far. The team will be desperate to do well in the upcoming campaign.
Carlos Brathwaite was one of the marquee signings made by Kandy in the recent draft. They have also acquired the services of Hasaranga, which will be a massive boost to their chances. The team has come out well with some in-form cricketers such as Chamika Karunaratne and Matheesha Pathirana. Fabian Allen, Dewald Brevis, Chris Green, Andre Fletcher, and Usman Shinwari are the other foreigners in the unit. All of them need to step up to have improved performance.
