The Sri Lankan cricket board is hurt after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) prevented its players from participating in the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL). <br /><br />The BCCI said on Saturday that the the T20 league is run by a private body and not Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). SLC, however, refuted the charges, saying the league is owned by the Sri Lankan cricket board. <br /><br />"This tournament is approved by SLC. And Somerset are the marketing arm, having won the rights through a tender process. Nobody can say it is owned by Somerset," SLC's secretary Nishantha Ranatunga was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. Somerset won the marketing and the logistics rights of the tournament.
