In a landmark moment for Nordic cricket, Icelandic spinner Kató Jónsson will attend trials at Kings XI Punjab. Jonsson could become the first Icelandic cricketer to play in the VIVO Indian Premier League, joining an ever-growing list of mystery spinners from developing cricketing nations to play in the league.

"This is what the IPL is all about," said an elated Satish Menon. "This proves that cricket is truly a global sport that knows no boundaries. To have a cricketer from Iceland in VIVO IPL would be historic and a testament to our belief that opportunity doesn’t discriminate." Satish Menon said in an article on kxip.in
