Wellington (New Zealand), Jan.16 (ANI): Several of New Zealand’s biggest-hitting cricketers have been given yet another opportunity to line their pockets with wads of dollars after receiving approaches to take part in the Sri Lankan domestic Twenty20 competition midway through the year.
The Sunday Star-Times understands Ross Taylor, who last Saturday became an overnight millionaire after selling for a whopping 1.3 million dollar in the Indian Premier League’s glamour auction, is one of those offered the chance to ply his trade in Sri Lanka.Brendon McCullum has also been identified as a possible overseas player while all-rounder Jacob Oram yesterday confirmed he had been in talks about taking part in the Sri Lanka league.
Details of the proposed competition remain hard to come by but it’s believed the tournament will run in Kandy in late July and early August. (ANI)
