This new power-play will be in addition to the traditional Power-play that occurs during the first six overs of an inning.

During the 'Power Blast Overs,' only four fielders will be allowed outside the circle, thus creating a more aggressive and thrilling phase of the game.

"We decided to bring this innovation in order to create further excitement for the league, which is growing year by year," said Samantha Dodanwela, Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League 2024.

During the 'Power Blast Overs,' only four fielders will be allowed outside the circle, thus creating a more aggressive and thrilling phase of the game.
