Srinivasan is back with Tamil Nadu Premier League

[Nova]

Quote

Srinivasan — who still controls the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) — has now started another T-20 tournament in the state: the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). Srinivasan’s peer, the lawyer PS Raman (who also heads BCCI’s legal cell) will be the chairman of TNPL.

PS Raman told Firstpost: "Yes, it is going to be a great T-20 tournament, where we will be tapping the potential of the district players in Tamil Nadu. The state has the best league in the country. The short tournament — spanning 23 days will see eight teams competing in three venues — Chennai, Natham (near Madurai) and Tirunelveli across Tamil Nadu.”

TNPL is following the same format as IPL. Eight teams from all over the state representing various towns like Madurai Super Giants, Lyca Kovai Kings, TUTI Patriots, VB Thiruvallur Veerans, Ruby Kanchi Warriors, Chepauk Super Gillies, Dindigul Dragons and Karaikudi Kaalai will take part in the tournament. Nobody can use 'Chennai' as it is reserved for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL.

Former Australian and CSK star batsman Matthew Hayden is now the brand ambassador of TNPL. Wearing a veshti (the lungi in North India), Hayden went across Tamil Nadu key cities promoting the tournament. Hayden also watched Kabali at the popular Albert Theatre in Chennai and said he loved it!

TNPL teams have roped in popular Kollywood celebs to promote their teams. Madurai Super Giants, partly owned by Dhyanidhi Alagiri and the Chennai-based Kothari family flew down former India star batsman Virender Sehwag for a big launch. The launch had popular star Simbu, music directors Anirudh and SS Thaman taking part. All the teams are trying to rope in glamorous Kollywood stars for the three-week tournament which starts on 27 August.

Yeah just some small feud

Alagiri supporters (allegedly lol)just attacked and burnt newspapers of sun group few years back and killed a few reporters because of a poll about Alagiri .

The Kalaignar TV 2 G scam everything originated from that feud and the subsequent fall out .

The case is still going on in high court.
