Visakhapatnam: Actress Sreeleela will take part in the opening ceremony of cricket tournament APL-2 in Visakhapatnam scheduled from August 16 to 27 at Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

On 16th, 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th, five people per day will be selected in lucky dip and will be given free passes to watch the India Vs Australia match to be held in November.
