Karachi, May 11 (PTI) Snubbed by the IPL for the past three seasons, top Pakistani cricketers including ODI skipper Shahid Afridi, are set to prove their worth at the inaugural edition of the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) later this year.
Afridi has already accepted an offer to lead one of the franchises in the SLPL for a sum of USD 35,000 for the inaugural season.
The Pakistan captain revealed that he has agreed on a three-year contract and that his current amount will double in 2012.
"I've accepted an offer to be captain of one of the team in the Sri Lankan Premier League. It's a good opportunity and I will try to make the most of it," Afridi said.
Besides the SLPL, the flamboyant Pakistani all-rounder said he has also received an offer to play as captain in the Bangladesh Premier League.
