I don't think Dilshan coming back to play LPL will serve any purpose. He will just take some youngsters spot in the starting XI. If he wants to contribute as a coach, thats a different thing.

When a board has no T20 league or had it but received a bad rep due to payments pending, abandoned it for a decade and such it is important that when you restart that the tournament looks serious and reputable. Due to Coivd, the 1st season gets a pass but it is upto SLC to make the league reputable. Imagine hearing that SLC is starting a T20 league after a decade and Dilshan who retired 5 years ago is back playing along with Manpreet Gony and Irfan Pathan lol. If a 45-year-old Dilshan comes back and performs, that will devalue the tournament. T20 "stars" care about their reputation and market. They don't want other leagues to know that they are playing in some boot-leg league where Dilshan returns after 5 years and performing well. Some of the players in GT20 Canada got paid like $300K USD to play for 3 weeks. They also got a personal limo service throughout, access to all the night clubs via reservations and didn't place any curfews. The quality of the tournament was good, this is why they returned for the 2nd time and the 2nd time they improved the venue even better. There are ways to build a tournament's reputation. Whether Dilshan plays or not, his participation will only do damage. 03-22-2021, 08:56 PM

If a player can perform irrespective of age, height etc, I don't see anything wrong in him playing in a t20 league. That said, Dilshan has only said he is available, it will depend on whether any of the franchises actually wants him. So there is no point in jumping the gun and arguing about something that might not happen in the end. Let's talk about it when it actually happens. 03-23-2021, 02:56 AM

Thank god SLC isn't running this tournament, I don't think the organizers that are spending the money want Dilshan in. 05-12-2021, 02:29 AM
The second edition of the Lanka Premier League Twenty20 Cricket Tournament will be worked off before the ICC T20 World Cup in October/November.
The inaugural tournament was a huge success and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Management Committee Chairman Professor Arjuna de Silva believed this year’s event could be even a bigger event with the participation of more foreign players. “The first tournament was successful last time at Hambantota and I am very confident we will have more foreign players competing,” de Silva told the Daily News yesterday. “Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa has already granted his approval for the LPL to be conducted at Hambantota, Dambulla, Pallekele and Colombo depending on the country’s health situation in that period,” he stressed. http://www.dailynews.lk/2021/05/12/sports/249067/lpl-be-held-icc-t20-world-cup 05-12-2021, 02:50 AM

The Lanka Premier League (LPL) T20 Cricket Tournament has been postponed tentatively till August due the prevailing pandemic situation in the country.
The second edition of the LPL was scheduled for next month but had to be postponed due to the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) after a discussion decided to delay the tournament until the end of August. A fresh date to create a window to host this tournament will be decided once the country is safe and favourable to conduct this event. http://www.dailynews.lk/2021/06/05/sports/250891/lanka-premier-league-t20-postponed |
