Another bad news for t20 lovers. Looks like another injury victim ruled out from slpl. Sadly this time we will miss this biggest cricket sensation, Gayle, the icon player and supposed to be captain for the Uva. IMO without Gayle this league now lost it's brightness; and I guess with this, it is now literally confirmed that Gayle wont be playing next clt20 as well.

Gayle had injured his groin while playing in the Bangladesh Premier League in February, but the injury was aggravated during West Indies' second Test against New Zealand in Jamaica. The same injury had also prevented Gayle from playing in the MiWAY T20 Challenge in South Africa for the Dolphins franchise.

Report also includes about other late widrawals along with Gayle's absense making it a list follows-
- Chris Gayle
- Shakib Al Hasan
- Abdur Rehman
- Fidel Edwards
- Marlon Samuels (unconfirmed)
Quote:
Two other overseas players - Pakistan's Abdur Rehman and West Indies' Fidel Edwards - are also in the late withdrawals list that already includes Shakib Al Hasan, who was denied permission to play in the tournament by the Bangladesh Cricket Board last week. There is also speculation that Marlon Samuels will be unavailable, but this has not yet been confirmed.
It is understood that the WICB decided not to provide a "no objection certificate" for Edwards because they would like him to be fresh ahead of the World Twenty20, which begins in September. However, reasons for Rehman's withdrawal remain unclear. Uva have replaced Gayle and Rehman with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fawad Alam and Jacob Oram and the Uthura Rudras have drafted in Kyle Mills and Australia batsman Rob Quiney to replace Shakib and Edwards.
