Colombo: As many as 12 Indian cricketers, including the likes of Munaf Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin, are expected to feature in the first edition of the Sri Lankan Premier League (SLPL), scheduled to commence from July 19.
However, among the Indian players on the SLPL radar, the inclusion of Patel, Ashwin and Praveen Kumar, who were recently selected for the West Indies tour, comes as a surprise as the trio is likely to be on national duty during that period.
India are scheduled to visit England during the month of July for a four-match Test series, followed by a one-day series and a one-off Twenty20 match.
According to a report in a Sri Lankan website, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has secured the services of several prominent overseas cricketers, including Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard.
Apart from Gayle, SLPL is also expected to feature Daniel Vettori.
The other Indian players who figure in the list posted by the website include Dinesh Karthik, Irfan Pathan, Manish Pandey, Manoj Tiwary, Paul Valthaty, Ravindra Jadeja, Saurabh Tiwary, Umesh Yadav and R. Vinay Kumar.
