During a tele-conference  with the top officials of the Sri Lankan Cricket (SLC) on Thursday  morning, BCCI secretary N Srinivasan told the SLC officials that the  Indian board would not be in a position to allow its players to take  part in Lanka’s version of the IPL.A disappointed SLC took the decision in its stride. “It is their decision and we cannot force them to change their  position,” Sri Lanka sports minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage told DNA on  Thursday. “We knew that India was not going to change its stand. That  was the reason why we did not go to India. We made an attempt to  convince them but the BCCI told us that it cannot reverse its stand.  They seem to have some apprehensions over the tournament,” the sports  minister said. SLC chairman DS de Silva and secretary Nishantha  Ranatunga spoke to the Indian board officials on Thursday.dnaindia</blockquote>
