Kolkata, September 25: In a bid to earn a contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders, former Indian Cricket League players Deep Dasgupta, Rohan Gavaskar and G Vignesh will play for the IPL side in their practice matches against visiting Champions League Twenty20 teams in Gurgaon from October 1-7.
Former Bengal captain Dasgupta said he would turn out for the Kolkata IPL side in the three practice games, provided he gets the Cricket Association of Bengal permission.
“My availability for the matches will depend on CAB. I am in talks with Knight Riders and it’s still in early stage. I am yet to sign a contract,” Dasgupta told PTI.
The wicketkeeper-batsman said he was looking forward to playing under Ganguly, who is likely to return as KKR captain.
“It will be a good exposure in Knight Riders and I am looking forward to play under ‘Dada’ (Ganguly) once again.
