2017–18 Premier Limited Overs Tournament
The 2017–18 Premier Limited Overs Tournament was a List A cricket competition that took place in Sri Lanka. It was the seventeenth edition of the Premier Limited Overs Tournament, and the first since the 2015–16 edition, after the 2016–17 tournament was cancelled following a legal challenge and replaced by the 2016–17 Districts One Day Tournament.[1] The tournament started on 9 March 2018 and finished on 25 March 2018.[2] Rain affected the first few days of fixtures, with several games ending as a no result.[3][4]
