Ravichandran Ashwin may miss SLPL due to BCCI's decision

CSK star and ace Indian spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin may miss inaugural Sri Lankan Premier League (SLPL) after BCCI banned it's players from participating in it.

India’s cricket board has banned its players from taking part in the Sri Lankan Premier League Twenty20 tournament, claiming it is being run by a private company.

The board barred its players on Sunday from participating in the tournament after 12 of its players had been approached to take part, including Praveen Kumar, Munaf Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin.

“We are not comfortable with allowing our players to participate in the tournament because of the involvement of a private entrepreneur,” Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Narainswamy Srinivasan told The Associated Press on Monday. Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said the T20 league is under his organization’s control.

“Our Twenty20 league is not a private venture but an SLC project,” Ranatunga said. “The board will discuss and decide on what steps can be taken after India’s refusal to send its players.”

Players from other countries who are expected to play in the league, which will be staged in Colombo from July 19 to Aug. 4, include Daniel Vettori, Shahid Afridi, Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard. Indian media speculated that former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi is involved with the Singapore-based firm that is linked to the tournament, causing the Indian board to ban its players from taking part. “It seems the best way to scuttle any plans is to say Lalit Modi is behind it.”

Modi wrote on his Twitter page. “Good to know that just mentioning my name can send a shiver down their spines.” Modi was removed as IPL commissioner after allegations of financial irregularities last year.
