Players from England and Australia later withdrew from the tournament owing to the busy international schedule and 2022–23 Big Bash League season. However, most of the local players who were signed had been retained by the respective franchises and the franchises were allowed to pick new players without a draft ever since the change in the tournament schedule. Danushka Gunathilaka, while in Australia during the middle of the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, has been accused of sexual assault and has made himself unavailable for the tournament.{{Cite web |date=2022-11-18 |title=LPL 2022 : Five new updates |url=https://www.newswire.lk/2022/11/18/lpl-2022-6-new-updates/ |access-date=2022-11-22 |website=NewsWire |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Test skipper Dimuth Karunaratne likely to make his LPL debut |url=https://www.sundaytimes.lk/221120/sports/test-skipper-dimuth-karunaratne-likely-to-make-his-lpl-debut-502247.html |access-date=2022-11-22 |website=Print Edition - The Sunday Times, Sri Lanka}}
