New 60-ball Cricket Tournament from West Indies…
West Indies Cricket Association and Caribbean Premier League organizers have introduced a new 60-ball cricket tournament called ‘THE 6ixty’.
The first-ever THE 6ixty Tournament is scheduled to play from August 24-28 in St. Kitts and Nevis with the participation of 6 men’s teams and 3 women’s teams. According to the West Indies Cricket Association, the tournament will feature a number of top cricketers.
West Indies Cricket authorities have introduced several new rules that are unique to THE 6ixty tournament.
In this tournament, each team will get only 6 wickets instead of 10 wickets. That is, with the loss of the 6th wicket, all the players are considered to have been dismissed.
One team has two powerplay overs, and in THE 6ixty series, the batting team has the potential to win even a third powerplay over if they want to. But to get the third powerplay, the batsmen have to hit two sixes in the first 12 balls.
The bowling team will have to bowl five consecutive overs at one end in this new series, although bowling will generally be able to switch the side from over to over.
West Indies Cricket emphasizes that if a team fails to bowl 10 overs in 45 minutes, it will have to bowl the last 6 balls without a fielder.

මෙම තරගාවලිය තුළ දී එක් කණ්ඩායමකට කඩුලු 10ක් වෙනුවට කඩුලු 6ක් පමණක් හිමි වේ. එනම් 6වෙනි කඩුල්ල දැවි යෑමත් සමග සියලු ක්රීඩකයන් දැවී ගියා සේ සැලකේ.
එක් කණ්ඩායමකට පවර්ප්ලේ පන්දුවාර දෙකක් හිමි වන අතර THE 6ixty තරගාවලිය තුළ දී පිතිකරණ කණ්ඩායමට අවශ්ය නම් තෙවැනි පවර්ප්ලේ පන්දුවාරයක් ලබා ගැනීමට වුව ද හැකියාව තිබේ. නමුත් තෙවැනි පවර්ප්ලේ පන්දුවාරය ලබා ගැනීමට නම් පළමු පන්දු 12 තුළ හයේ පහර දෙකක් එල්ල කිරීමට පිතිකරුවන්ට සිදු වේ.

Pathirana, Wanindu, Eshan Await Fitness Nod for IPL 2026
Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, Eshan Malinga, and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga are set to join their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, pending clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) mandatory fitness tests.
The assessments, scheduled in the coming days, will determine their readiness after injuries kept them out of the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year. Early signs suggest the players are recovering well, and officials remain optimistic about their participation.
Pathirana, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 18 crore at the mini-auction, is expected to be a key figure with his death-over bowling expertise. He previously impressed at Chennai Super Kings, earning recognition for his composure under pressure.
While the trio awaits clearance, several Sri Lankan cricketers have already received their No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are preparing to join their franchises, with Nissanka heading to Delhi Capitals, Chameera also continuing with Delhi Capitals, and Mendis retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In total, seven Sri Lankan players will feature in IPL 2026, underlining the growing presence of the island nation’s talent in the league.
