The tournament, set to take place in Kandy, Sri Lanka from March 7-18, will feature a 90-ball format. Unlike the first season, which was played in Ghaziabad from March 22 to 30 last year in the 20-over format, the upcoming event will see a change in venue and format.
The inaugural season concluded with the final being washed out, resulting in Indore Knights and Guwahati Avengers being declared joint winners.
In the LCT90BALLS format, each team's five bowlers will be allowed to bowl three overs each, with the captain having the option to select one bowler to bowl four overs by the 60th ball.
