Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is keen to help the Indian cricket board to host the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

This offer has come at the time when the previous India captain Sourav Ganguly, who now happens to the BCCI president has said, we need to speak with other boards and see if a window can be made available prior to the T20 World Cup .

If we fail to complete the IP, the loss will be close to INR 2500 crore (USD 340 million approx.) That is passing early price quotes .

Yes, we can certainly supply a window to host the IPL in the month of September , Prof.

Arjuna de Silva, the chief of the managing committee of the SLC, speaking solely over the telephone from Colombo, stated.

We hear the UAE (United Arab Emirates) is their one alternative but Sri Lanka can not be overlooked for all reasons .

We are planning to host the Lanka Premier League (LPL) in July-August and the premises and other infrastructure will be prepared for the IPL in September , he added.

Prof.

de Silva's term is set up to be over this month after the SLC elections on May 20, however whoever comes in power the offer will stand to be open.

The IPL groups have actually already hired the services of Sri Lanka's famous cricketers- Kumar Sangakkara, Muthiah Muralitharan and Mahela Jayawardene.
