Outstation players to feature in Sankar Cement-TNPL 2018

Sixteen outstation cricketers will feature in the upcoming third edition of the Sankar Cement-sponsored Tamil Nadu Premier League for the first time, decided to open the doors to upto two uncapped other-state Indian players for each of the eight franchises.

A total of 112 players from 13 state associations, namely Baroda, Karnataka, Kerala, Hyderabad, Andhra, Goa, Saurashtra, Madhyapradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir, registered for the outstation Player draft of TNPL 2018 which was held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wedneday.

Among other guidelines, all registered outstation players should have been granted No Objection Certificate from their respective state associations, are uncapped Indian players and should never have been a part of any IPL game.

“Allowing upto two outstation players for each franchise is bound to increase the quality of cricket and the level of competition,” said TNCA joint secretary RI Palani.

The TNPL has clearly grown in stature over the past two seasons with a number of players picked by IPL franchises.

“Playing alongside and against outstation players will further sharpen the skills of our players, and that was the thought behind the move,” added Palani.

Franchises will be allowed to field both outstation players in the playing XI, the organisers announced.
TNPL-3, comprising 32 matches and spread over 33 days across three venues, will be held between July 11 and August 12.
