There are talks of registration of other Indian players too, but the names haven't come out yet. "Most of the foreign franchises don't want the names to come out prior to the start of league since BCCI doesn't encourage Indians to play in overseas franchise T20 leagues," said a source aware of the development.
Both Tyagi and Bisla confirmed to IANS that they have indeed registered for the LPL. Pace bowler Tyagi, who has played four ODIs and one T20 International besides representing Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings in IPL, was part of Dambulla Viking squad in last year's LPL.
