KP to PLAY in ipl

Published : Nov 08, 2008 00:00 IST

England captain Kevin Pietersen has already agreed to join the mega-bucks Indian Premier League.

The England skipper just needs the green light from the English cricket board.

IPL chief Lalit Modi has revealed an agreement has been struck which will see Pietersen feature early next season.

He said: “I am very keen for Kevin to take part in the IPL. He has already agreed to be part of it, we just need a no-objection certificate from the ECB.”

The England board is unlikely to pull the deal, having said players will be available for 14 days of next season’s IPL.

That clearance comes with the provision that 20 IPL stars will be free to play in the ECB’s proposed Twenty20 league in 2010.
