SLPL POSTPONED

SRI LANKA PREMIER LEAQUE TOURNAMENT POSTPONED
The proposed SLPL T 20 2011 organised in similar fashion to the IPL in India was given wide publicity and was to commence on 19th July 2011.The SLC authorities were very busy in organising this tournament with a lot of enthusiasm.
Mainly due to the non participation of the Indian players, the organisers had to postpone the tournament for next year, mainly due to the sudden change in Administration in the Interim committee of the SLC and after the Indian players were banned from participating. The players from other countries too have not shown much interest. From the beginning there were doubts that the SLPL would get off the blocks without hindrance. One’ Reddy’ from India had taken the responsibility of organising the players from India. It is now learnt that he had been expelled from the IPL for alleged misappropriation of funds.
Although it has been said it is postponed to avoid embarrassment, it had been scrapped altogether.
