Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has given NOC (No Objection Certificate) to Sri Lankan white-ball skipper Dasun Shanaka to play in Major League Cricket in the United States of America.

Shanaka will play for the Seattle Orcas franchise team in the inaugural edition of Major League Cricket T20 tournament which will kick off tomorrow (13th July) in USA.

Last month, SLC had denied offering NOCs to Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga to play in this tournament following the decision taken to allow only two foreign league appearances for Sri Lankan players per year.  

Shanaka has taken the flight to USA directly from Zimbabwe to join his team Seattle Orcas. Meanwhile, Hasaranga has returned to Sri Lanka after the end of ICC World Cup Qualifier tournament and will not play in Major League Cricket tournament as scheduled previously.
