Colombo: The former Sri Lankan captain Marvan Atapattu is believed to be considering playing for the breakaway Indian Cricket League after rejecting to play in the Australia-bound national team. "There are indications that he has a link with the Indian rebel league," said Sri Lankan Cricket selection committee chief Ashantha de Mel. The 36-year old has apparently been at odds with the selectors since he was not included in the squad for the World Cup in the West Indies and had also withdrawn from the three match home Test series against Bangladesh. "With regard to Marvan, our decision not to play him at the World Cup seems to have upset him," de Mel was quoted as saying by a Colombo-based daily. Another local newspaper Lakbima News quoted Atapattu as saying, "I hope to play cricket for two more years. That can be for Sri Lanka or anywhere else". However, eight of top Sri Lanka players - Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasuriya, Muttiah Muralitharan, Lasith Malinga, Farveez Maharoof, Dilhara Fernando and Nuwan Zoysa were last week approved by the country's Cricket Board last week to play in the official Indian Premier League, offering prize money of USD 3 million. ====== I guess ICL needed this BADLYYYYYY
