England ambitions come first Luke Wright turns down IPL approach May 8, 2008 England allrounder Luke Wright has joined the ranks of players who have turned down offers from IPL franchises. Earlier this week Ravi Bopara and Sajid Mahmood revealed that they had also been approached to join IPL, but both opted to put their England ambitions ahead of short-term financial gain. "At the moment my main focus and priority is playing for my country," Wright said. "Obviously I was very pleased to be considered for the IPL. If the timings were different and it wasn't going to affect my chances of playing for England then it would be something I would seriously have to consider." Wright is not centrally contracted to the ECB and so would only have required permission from Sussex to play in the IPL. © Cricinfo
