The Major Club Youth (U-23) tournament conducted by Sri Lanka Cricket will commence on September 16, heralding the start of a new cricket season. The tournament will run from September 16 to October 11.

A total of 26 clubs who are qualified to play in the Major Club League Tier A and B tournaments for the season 2020-21 are eligible to participate in the Major Club Youth (Under 23) tournament.

The clubs have been divided into four groups and all the matches will be one-day 50-overs a side.

According to the fixtures, each team will play six first-round matches in group A and D which consist of seven teams in each group while teams in group B and C will play five matches.

All teams will play each other once in their respective groups on a round-robin basis where the top team in each group at the end of the league round will progress to the knockout stage – the semi-finals and final.

The Colts Cricket Club is the defending champions, while Chilaw Marians were the runner-up during the last season.
