Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) recently announced that any player joins the rebel Twenty20 tournament will not be considered for future selection.

Both India and Pakistan have announced similar bans.

SLC chairman Jayantha Dharmadasa told BBC Sandeshaya that Sri Lanka would not authorise any tournament which is banned by cricket authorities of any country.

The Indian Cricket Board last week announced another Twenty20 tournament to counter the threat forced by the ICL.
