According to reports, Sri Lanka cricketer Angelo Mathews is interested to make a comeback for the national squad and the all-rounder has mailed Sri Lanka Cricket of his intentions to do so. Sri Lanka Cricket will take a final decision on the matter at a meeting on Tuesday, October 13.

Amidst multiple issues, with three out of the five franchises’ contracts being terminated, Cricbuzz has reported that the second edition of the Lanka Premier League would be postponed. The reports also suggested that the tournament would be rescheduled to start in November-December.

Galle Gladiators skipper Shahid Afridi is set to return to Pakistan, following a personal emergency, which would leave the captaincy role to Bhanuka Rajapaksa - who is currently the vice-captain. Aftab Alam too has returned home to Afghanistan for personal reasons in the LPL.

Fireworks were in plenty in LPL as Mohammad Amir lost his cool with Naveen-ul-Haq after a no-ball wasn't given on the last ball of the match, resulting in a heated exchange between the pacers. Amir’s teammate Shahid Afridi too had some words of advice for the Afghan cricketer post-match.
