2018 TNPL: List of players retained by the teams

Dindigul Dragons

Dindigul Dragons were strong contenders for the TNPL title in the first season as they looked dominant in the league stage before losing to Tuti Patriots in the semi-finals. Last season, they failed to finish in the top-4 as they ended sixth out of the eight teams.

Going into the 2018 TNPL, they have retained the services of Indian star R Ashwin, wicketkeeper-batsman N Jagadeesan, who has been prolific for them and was bought by CSK in the IPL auction, and R Vivek. Their decision to retain Ashwin is quite surprising as the off-spinner will be busy with India commitments during the tournament.
