I am one of the minority traditionalist that still believe in the beauty of intellectual arguments and long test match duels. As a bowler myself I felt increasingly that the advantage of batsman have been increased year after year in name of entertainment.

No. This will be a big loss to the Indian economy. Do you have any idea how much money BCCI generates for India? The brand value of the IPL is because of the brand value of the Indian players. Once you allow indian players to play other leagues, the IPL will lose its business.

[@tamberlame27]

@@aditya-ml6km why will it be a loss? Which league outside of India is capable of paying as much?

[@rahulgupta5034]

@@tamberlame27 first of all, most cricket audiences are Indian. If we allow indian players in other leagues, Indian/ipl audiences got divided in other leagues. So result :- IPL down, other league up. 2nd :- UAE, American leagues can offer more money than India. UAE allowed 7-8 foreigner players in a team. In short, without indian audiences no league can grow that much as ipl. If our players go in any league, indian audiences follow them. Don't do too much of cricket. One league (IPL) per year is ok, for indian audiences point of view.

Well the thing about IPL and T20 cricket was, that it wasn't BCCI's idea. And BCCI were actually not Interested in T20 at all, a media group know as ZEE, and it's chairman actually saw the potential in t20, and decided to make a t20 tournament called "Indian Cricket league" but the ICC were against the idea since in the 1970s an Australian media also made a cricket tournament with limited rules and coloured jerseys and it looked way exciting then the test matches and it forced ICC to adapt the match format, so they will not let a media company rule cricket again. So with the help of BCCI, they destroyed every possibility of ICL to Happen ICL went bankrupt few years later, while IPL was the BCCI's final weapon.

You can argue with me, but there's no denying that Franchise Cricket is the future just like Football. Don't bring the "Playing for the Country" issue. Cricketers are professional and most have very short career except some legends of the game. But they can earn by playing Franchise Cricket and have a prosperous future after retirement. Only International Cricket should be ICC tournaments. Only 11 players play in a match, but in Cricket Leagues almost 70-100 local player plays, get money and exposure.
