List of Indian players likely to play in upcoming Lanka Premier League 2025
Let's take a look at the list of the Indian Players who are likely to feature in the upcoming 2025 season of the Lanka Premier League (IPL), which is scheduled to begin on December 01, among five franchises.
The Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2025 is going to make history as the Indian players are expected to be part of the competition for the very first time. The upcoming sixth season of the event, which will begin on December 01, will be one of the craziest editions in the presence of the Indian players, who will bring a different flavor to the premier T20 competition of Sri Lanka.
Dinesh Karthik, the former wicket-keeper batter of the Indian side and the current mentor of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) of the Indian Premier League (IPL), featured in the last season of the SA20 for the Paarl Royals. Many reckon that he could also look to be a part of the LPL 2025, which will add more star power to the tournament.
A total of 13 Indian players- Piyush Chawla, Siddharth Kaul, Ankit Rajpoot, Sarul Kanwar, Anureet Singh Kathuria, Ansari Marouf, Mahesh Ahir, Nikhil Jaga, Mohamed Faidh, KS Naveen, Imran Khan, Venkatesh Galipelly, and Atul Yadav, who was part of the SA20 auction list, have made it into the LPL.

Among these names, Chawla, Kaul, and Rajpoot will bring a huge experience of the IPL. The premier leg spinner of the national side has represented them at the international level, along with his incredible success in the franchise league. If he indeed makes it into the LPL, it will be a significant move for Indian cricket as the BCCI will allow their retired players to be part of the foreign T20 leagues.
Irfan Pathan and Munaf Patel could also be part of the competition, which will feature five franchises in a double round-robin format, with 20 league matches. The top four sides will then progress into the playoffs, including the Eliminator, Qualifier 1 and 2, and the final.
Ravichandran Ashwin, the premier Indian spinner who retired from international cricket and IPL recently, will feature in the Big Bash League (BBL) for the Sydney Thunder, being the very first Indian player to be part of the tournament. The LPL 2025 will add a thrilling chapter in franchise cricket in the presence of Indian players.
