Indian Premier League Praveen Kumar for the Bangalore Challengers February 23, 2008 The confusion surrounding Praveen Kumar, the Uttar Pradesh allrounder, has been put to rest with the player confirming that he was joining the Bangalore Royal Challengers for the forthcoming Indian Premier League. Both Delhi and Bangalore had claimed they had snapped Kumar but he clarified to Cricinfo that he would join Bangalore franchise for US$ 300,000. Rajeev Shukla, a vice-president of the Indian board, had said Kumar was to join the Delhi Daredevils but TA Sekar, the cricket operations manager for the Delhi franchise, also confirmed the same. It is learnt that Kumar was first signed up by Bangalore before Delhi entered the picture with a bigger offer. The Bangalore franchise objected and raised a complaint with the IPL governing council. The IPL then stepped in and said that the initial agreement had to be upheld and Bangalore decided to match Delhi's price and rope in Kumar. Kumar is currently part of India's one-day squad that's taking part in the CB Series in Australia. He was the only member of the squad not part of the 77 players included in the IPL pool. Kumar's stocks rose after his fine domestic performances this season and the fact that he fell in the Under-22 category added to his demand. © Cricinfo
