After the involvement of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) in the Lanka Premier League 2021, three Sri Lanka cricketers and one coach have been removed from the tournament and they will no longer be able to participate in the 2021 edition of LPL.

Meanwhile, the latest reports released by the Sri Lankan media has revealed that the three players and one coach have been banned from participating in the Lanka Premier League 2021 after they participated in an unsanctioned cricket tournament in Nairobi, Kenya.

So the players and a coach who choose to participate in the tournament disapproved of by the ICC will no longer be allowed to play the sanctioned cricket competition. Meanwhile, the names of three players and a coach have not been revealed yet but the announcement might be made very soon by the organizer of the event.
