Gibbs confirms participation in Sri Lanka T20 league | South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs
has confirmed on his Twitter account that he will be taking part in the upcoming
Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) T20 tournament. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) had previously announced the involvement of foreign stars in the SLPL, but no names have yet
been released by them. The Sri Lanka board has also said players like Chris Gayle,
David Warner, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Vettori are expected to participate
in the inaugural SLPL, which will be played in Colombo and Pallekele from August
10 to 31. Gibbs is the first international player to confirm participation in
the tournament. "From here [IPL] to the UK T20 for Durham then to the Sri Lanka
Premier League," Island Cricket quoted Gibbs' tweet, as saying. It was reported
last year that SLC had secured the services of 33 overseas players, including
Gibbs, but the tournament was postponed after India refused to allow its players
to participate. "We are hoping to get Chris Gayle, David Warner, Darren Bravo,
Kieron Pollard, Daniel Vettori and several other well-known players," said an
SLC official.
