Sri Lanka reject India's request on IPL players

[Ammyy]

Good decision Sri Lanka.

we are not allowing you player so this is expects by you

 

[Zeeshan360]

There would more retirements in SL cricket if this continues.

This . . .

No wonder many players have alrdy taken retirement frm one or the other format (mostly tests)

Now many players will start taking retirements when they are in 20s

The decision is political - internal politics in the Sri Lankan Cricket Board. It is quite well known that absolutely none of the boards in South Asia care about their players unlike England and Australia.

[luckyyy]

National priority is the highest.

earlier the same SLC was given in written that their players will be available till 22 may..the document is available with the leading news channals....
it's the same reason sri lankan players were picked by the IPL frenchies , while the english and west indies player were not picked for the same reason...

on the other side , there were gossips that this decision by the sri lankan politician ( sports minister ) is due to the fect that some srilankan politicans think that they were given a very cold treatment at the WC final where the SL president was also present...there were news coming out that few SL politician didn't get the tickets for the final match ....

BCCI may block pay of Lankans in IPL

KOLKATA, NEW DELHI: With the Sri Lankan government learnt to be firm on its decision to recall its players from IPL 4, the prospects of an ugly confrontation between the boards of India and the island nation looms, while Sourav Ganguly, whom many consider destiny's own child, finds himself miraculously on the threshold of figuring in his fourth T20 league.

The islanders have decided to ignore the BCCI's informal request to let the Lankan cricketers stay a while longer and honour their IPL commitments. If the players are indeed called back by May 5, the BCCI is likely to retaliate hard. It may ask the IPL franchisees to block the salaries of the Lankan cricketers and even refuse to pay the Lankan board its share of 10% of the players' earnings.

If Sri Lankan players exit IPL 4, Kochi Tuskers would be more than happy to welcome Sourav Ganguly into its fold.

Kochi, having passed up a golden chance to pick up the charismatic southpaw at the players auction in January, has since made two unsuccessful attempts to get him on board. Both times it was denied on technical grounds.

This time, if the franchise has to let go of skipper Mahela Jayawardene midway through the IPL, it will have a strong case to seek Ganguly as replacement.

The IPL governing council will then have no choice but to oblige to ensure there is no qualitative drop in the league. As of now, neither board is willing to comment on the standoff, which might suggest the deadlock is still on. But sources say in all probability, the Lankan cricketers may have to return as per their government's orders. Lanka plays its first Test in England from June 26.

It will be interesting to see how BCCI reacts to an early exit of Lankan players. India has toured the island nation frequently in the last couple of years, which has undoubtedly helped the Sri Lankan board earn more from television revenues as compared to other visiting teams.

"I would still wait and watch over this development. I still think it's a little early to comment," said a senior BCCI official. However, he did admit that there was no indication that the Lankan government may change its stance.

Indian cricket authorities, it is learnt, had requested the Lankan board to extend its deadline to allow players play the IPL by 10 days, by which time the playoffs will end. In the current scenario, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Deccan Chargers and Royal Challengers Bangalore will suffer the most.

"As per the understanding between BCCI and SLC, Lankan players were to stay on till May 22. It was on the basis of that the teams had bought the Lankan players," a BCCI source told TOI. He added, "According to IPL rules, only those cricketers who are available for the whole season without injury are supposed to be paid the entire salary. We are telling the Lankan board that its cricketers' salaries would be blocked for now if they leave without honouring their commitments."

When TOI got in touch with BCCI secretary N Srinivasan, he said, "I haven't got any official word from the Lankan board. So, I won't be able to comment."

A BCCI official said the decision to recall players "could be a result of the Lankan board's internal politics". He cited the case of growing discontent against former captain Arjuna Ranatunga, who wields enormous power in the island's cricketing interests.

Both Kochi and Ganguly are following the developments keenly, waiting for the decks to be cleared before making their moves. Barring a last-minute twist in the tale, expect Sourav to pad up for Kochi when the Tuskers host KKR in Kolkata on May 5.
