Police Free Stranded Cricketers as Unrecognized IHPL Collapses in Srinagar

Organisers allegedly fled Srinagar without paying dues.

Overview

  • More than 60 cricketers, including several international players, were allowed to leave their hotel after Jammu and Kashmir Police intervened and began preliminary inquiries.
  • Hotel staff had initially blocked departures because the organisers allegedly left without clearing accommodation charges and other payments.
  • Players boycotted matches over unpaid salaries and expenses, leaving the Indian Heaven Premier League effectively suspended.
  • The event was run by a group identified as Yuva Society Mohali, whose representatives are unreachable with phones switched off.
  • The privately organised league was not recognised by the BCCI, despite promoting involvement of international names such as Chris Gayle, Thisara Perera, Jesse Ryder and Deven Smith.
