Rohan Jaitley gave a big statement

So, in a recent interview to Times of India regarding the tournament, Rohan Jaitley said- Rishabh Pant, Navdeep Saini, Harshit Rana and other Indian players will participate in the first season of DPL. I spoke to Rishabh Pant and he has promised me to participate in the league, but it depends only on his availability and national commitments. But for now he will play, Navdeep and Harshit will also join the league.

Also, the tournament’s brand ambassador and former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag said – The league will definitely be a great opportunity for those players who work hard in the nets and have not got a chance in any big tournament.

When I used to play in my early days, we didn’t get this kind of opportunity to play in different leagues. Now that my son is playing, I am happy that he will get those opportunities. So yes, there is a great opportunity here.
