There will be no outstation players in the third edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) after all. The CoA informed the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) in a mail on Saturday that BCCI provisions do not permit outstation players to participate in tournaments hosted by another association. Even though the CoA gave TNCA the nod to conduct the tournament, it stated that the tournament might be declared as “unapproved” if the TNCA goes ahead with the outstation players.


The CoA has also directed the concerned BCCI members to withdraw the No Objection Certificates (NOCs) issued to players like Unmukt Chand, Hanuma Vihari who registered for the outstation players’ draft. They also advised the registered players to comply with their home association.
“It is reiterated that in the event you fail to comply with the Advisory (including for the avoidance of doubt the provision which does not permit players registered with another State Association for the purpose of participating in BCCI tournaments from participating in your T20 tournaments), permission shall not be granted for the third edition of the TNPL and the same may be declared as an ‘Unapproved Tournament’, the consequences of which will be solely on account of your refusal to comply with the Advisory,” the CoA mail stated.



 

“All Members are directed to withdraw any NOCs that they may have issued to players registered with them for participating in BCCI tournaments as well as advise all their registered players accordingly so that they are compliant with the above,” it further said.
The TNCA, though, is yet to give up hope and will take a final decision in a Governing Council meeting on Monday morning.
