 I highly doubt Chaminda Vaas would get a chance to play for Deccan though.. He hardly got a chance in the IPL as well.. I think it has alot to do with Gilchrist..

Dilshan plays for Basnahira South. Only Wayamba has qualified to play. So If Dilshan doesn't play for his IPL franchise, he won't be playing at all.

 Thanks Hilal for explaining. I hope this is the only reason behind this and nothing else:).
Cheers!

Mendis is probably going to get out all the South Africans when they play against him lol. And he's playing on Indian pitches. Have a strong feeling he's going to do well.
And if Dilshan does well again then he's got to be the undisputed batsman of the year.

4 foreign players rule is not there I think. So vassy will get a chance. I feel Deccan are making a mistake by not taking Chamara Silva. They had a young players called Bilakia in IPL who is totally useless. Will Laxman make it in to final xi of Deccan. I hope so.

If Wyamba is North Western Sri Lanka, why players like Mahela, Vandort, Maharoof, Mubarak, Mendis, Udawatte , Isuru Udana ( all born in and around Colombo) playing for that team?

Shouldn't they be playing for Basnahira?

Just wondering.

Their main aim was to create a five competitive sides. They have divided the talent accordingly. Since there are only few top players from Wayamba they had to do that. Even for Kandurata there are players like Thilan, Dilhara who are from Colombo.

Yes they wanted to balance all sides otherwise Basnahira will be winning all the time. I hope they should change names, make it more interesting.

Don't forget Ruhuna Gangster

Rhuhuna could've provided  far more players than Basnahira.

Including Lasith Malinga, Upul Tharanga, Sanath, TT Mirando, Dilhara Fernando, Dilshan,

Dilshan plays for B/ south. T. Mirando plays for Kandurata. Most of Ruhuna players out of form, I do not think they are competitive anymorehe he.
