Sri Lanka's domestic season started on Friday although the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy will limit interest in the 16-team Premier League.
Last year's three-tier structure remains. 12 teams will be fighting for the six remaining places in the Super League starting next January. Last year's top four - Colts, NCC, SSC and Tamil Union - will proceed straight into the 10-team Super League.
The top four sides in this tournament will then enter a knockout stage.
Last year's winner was Colts Cricket Club.
Several players have moved clubs: left-arm spinner Dinuk Hettiarachchi leaves Colts for SSC; left-arm spinner Niroshan Bandaratillake and all-rounder Anil Rideegammanagedera leave Tamil Union for Galle; fast bowler Indika Gallage and wicket-keeper batsman Lanka de Silva rejoin CCC; and young all-rounder Kaushalya Weereratne joins Bloomfield.
