By chetannarula ⋅ October 1, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Aussie seamer Mitchell Johnson and vice-captain Michael Clarke have been approached by the Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi to take part in the League next year.

Modi spoke to Clarke, who is in India currently with the Australian team, during the Australians stay at Jaipur.

“He told me the other night he wants me to play in next season’s IPL. Lalit said there was another auction coming up,” Clarke has been quoted as saying in a newspaper.

“I am very much interested and definitely want to be part of the IPL. It’s just about timing for me. I think we have some One-Dayers in Pakistan, but the following year we are available for the whole time,” he added.

Meanwhile, Modi himself was reported as saying he expected Clarke and Johnson to appear in the league in the second season.

“A few new players would be joining the IPL, from Australia, too. We hope Clarke and Johnson will join,” he said.
