Sachin Tendulkar, who has retired from the IPL, and Rahul Dravid,
who has indicated the upcoming Champions League would be his last
tournament, have been named in the Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals
squads for the Twenty20 event. A Faisalabad Wolves squad has also been
announced, in an indication of the Pakistan side's probable
participation in the qualifying stage of the league, after political
tensions between India and Pakistan had cast doubts over whether they would be allowed to come over.
Kumar Sangakkara is the only player who hasn't preferred his IPL franchise for the tournament among the 12 wanted by two sides, and has decided to play
for his home side Kandurata Maroons. Explaining the process for
deciding which teams these players would represent, Dean Kino, a CLT20
governing council member and director of legal and business affairs,
said: "Players who were named by more than one team were asked to select
which team they were going to play for. Teams were then allowed to
replace any player that withdrew from their squad and elected to play
for another side.
"CLT20 regulations state that when a player elects to play for their
'away' team, that team must pay the 'home' team $150,000 compensation
per player. A 'home' team is classified as a team from the country a
player is eligible to represent in international cricket.
"This payment is applicable for 10 of the 12 players that were eligible
for more than one team. The exceptions are Kumar Sangakkara, who will be
representing Kandurata Maroons, which is classified as his home team,
and Thisara Perera, who qualified for Brisbane Heat and Sunrisers
Hyderabad, neither of which is classified as his home team."
Lasith Malinga has not been named in the Mumbai Indians squad as he wanted to be with his wife and family, as they expect their second child late in September.
Group A includes Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Lions, Perth
Scorchers and Qualifier 1 while Group B has
Chennai Super Kings, Brisbane Heat, Titans, Trinidad & Tobago and
Qualifier 2. Otago Volts, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Faisalabad Wolves and
Kandurata Maroons will play the qualifiers beginning on September 17 in
Hyderabad, with the top two sides advancing to the main draw starting
September 21 in Jaipur and to be played across Ranchi, Ahmedabad,
Hyderabad and Delhi.
