COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s proposed T20 league suffered a setback after the IPL templated franchise-based tournament was indefinitely postponed.
Russel Arnold, former international cricketer and tournament director of the proposed Sri Lankan Premier League, tweeted that the tournament has been postponed.
Arnold posted the following message on his official Twitter account: “Hi Folks !!! The Lankan Premier League which was to be played in Aug/Sep has been postponed. #Uncontrollables @OfficialSLC.”
According to a report by Cricbuzz, the proposed league had received the blessing of the Indian cricket board, with the BCCI reportedly agreeing to free up veteran stars like Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh for the league. The BCCI bars all Indian players from featuring in any foreign league.
