Indian Heaven Premier League: Former India cricketer Surinder Khanna dismissed reports of his involvement in the Indian Heaven Premier League, which has been called off after the organisers absconded without paying hotel bills or compensating players, explaining that the league is solely owned and organised by a non-profit organisation, YUVA Society.

The IHPL, modelled on the IPL and other such T20 leagues being played in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar city, featuring local, national & international players, has run into rough weather with some players being stranded at a local hotel and organisers fleeing the Valley on Saturday night without paying hotel bills or compensating players.

"It has been reported in the media that the Indian Heaven Premier League has been called off by its owners and organisers due to reasons best known to them. In this context, it is important to clarify that Surender Khanna has absolutely no involvement with this league," a statement from Khanna read.
