History

Australian player Adam Voges did not play in the SLPL 2012 due to pressure from his current team Nottinghamshire. Although Voges, the former Australia international who has played in the IPL and more recently for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, is listed as one of eight overseas players on the roster of the Kandurata franchise, Notts insisted his obligations at Trent Bridge be met in full.
