5 players who could be playing their last CPL

Kumar Sangakkara

Sangakkara is batting well and now on the cusp of 40 will want to continue

The Sri Lankan cricketer took his retirement from Test cricket in 2015 but is still enjoying an excellent batting form. He amassed more than a thousand runs in this year's county season and was the second highest run scorer for Karachi Kings in this year's PSL.

But he is 39-years-old now and hence could be heading towards the end of his cricketing career. Nothing can be said about his future in CPL as nobody knows how long Sangakkara wishes to extend his batting career.

Most probably this is his last appearance in the Caribbean Premier League because franchises in CPL select only five overseas players in their squad and hence they choose players who are likely to stay fit till the end of the tournament and are in good form.

Sangakkara's appearance in next year's CPL depends on whether he is able to stay physically fit and is capable of scoring runs at an incredible rate.
