  • Salem Spartans Steal Show with Top Picks in TNPL Season 5 Draft Vijay Shankar, M Ashwin, Periyasamy in Washington Sundar’S Team
    Salem Spartans steal show with top picks in TNPL Season 5 draft Vijay Shankar, M Ashwin, Periyasamy in Washington Sundar’s team Chennai, February 20: Salem Spartans made full use of their first position in the order of the Tamil Nadu Twenty20 Premier League Season 5 draft to pick a strong squad on Thursday. The Spartans, formerly Tuti Patriots, not only netted the big fish, India all-rounder Vijay Shankar but they also laid their hands-on Season 4 top wicket-taker Ganeshan Periyasamy and star leg-spinner Murugan Ashwin. In fact, they managed to pick six players who represented last year’s winners, Chepauk Super Gillies. Chepauk, however, also had a say in the proceedings picking Season 4’s top run-getter wicketkeeper batsman Narayan Jagadeesan. Spartan stars Washington Sundar and Vijay Shankar were confident of a better show and improve upon the fifth-placed finish last year. The two top-guns are likely to play the full season when the tournament kicks off from June 10, 2020. “It is a great boost to have Vijay Shankar in the side. It is a new setup and we are looking to do better this year,” said Sundar, who was among the three players retained by the franchise. “In the last three years I have played for different teams every year but I have only played 3 games of TNPL. I am looking forward to play the full season and help the team win matches and the tournament as well,” Vijay Shankar said. Chepauk coach Hemang Badani was unperturbed about losing key players from his title-winning squad.
