The West Indian cricketer,
Chris Gayle, has become the highest paid player in the inaugural Sri Lanka
Premier League starting from next month. He will be paid US $100,000.
The player who comes after
him as the second highest
earner is Shahid Afridi who will get $50,000 for playing in Sri Lanka’s inaugural Twenty20 league.
Chris Gayle and Shahid
Afridi have been highlighted more due to their huge payment. They will
undoubtedly be the main attraction of this cricket league. They are among 56
foreign players listed to take part in the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL).
The other foreign players
will get salaries from $10,000 to $35,000 depend on their performance in the
24-match event.
The interesting thing is
that no player from India and England has been listed in the tournament which aims to
imitate the success of the highly popular Indian Premier League (IPL).
Not only current players
but also former and upcoming youngsters from Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, the West Indies and South Africa have been included in the line-up.
The Sri Lanka Premier
League (SLPL) will start from August 10-31.
