IPL will go the way of MLB, NHL, NBA and the like; players will get scouted from a young age, brought through a development system, sign exclusive contracts to play IPL, and those that don't make "the big leagues" will go play Big Bash, MLC, or in any other league. From there, they will get permission - they're on exclusive contracts, remember - to play international games for their country. Eventually, representing your country won't be the lofty goal that it once was, earning a massive contract within the IPL system will be the new top goal for cricketers. It'll take time, a massive attitude shift like that always does, but thats where we'll end up.

[@Nickgooner21]

Jarrod is right about how how we play in Australia. I was 16, playing 2nd grade in Newcastle keeping and batting 7. We bowled Cardiff out for 236 at tea on the first day ( keep in mind in Aussie grade cricket you come back the next Saturday for the next 90 overs). We were 5/30 with 10 overs to go when I came in and it was not comfortable, I was told by the older players in the team that I was the last batsman and I had to bat out the overs, plus enough to stop us getting beaten outright. Meaning the next week as well. I had a family 18th Birthday party the following Friday and enjoyed the liberal use of the keg way too much. My mother drove me out to the game on Saturday with 80 overs to bat and I was vomiting out the window, much to her disgust. I had to raise the guard of my helmet to spew countless times throughout the day, the only plus side of this was that they had a brilliant young offie who ended up playing for NSW in the shield, the bat pad and silly mid off were inclined to avoid the mess I had created close to the wicket. This was an unexpected win as I ballooned numerous bat pads just shy of these hygiene conscious gents. It's the worst I had ever felt in my life, yet we avoided the outright and lost 1st innings points only. My reward was unwanted pints at the clubhouse. It's different in Australia, if you bunker down and suffer as a batsman, you are revered as a teenager by grown men. As disgusted as my mother was with my display, even she had to applaud me on the way off. I scored a grand total of 31 from 90 overs. It wasn't impressive batting at all, just fear of what the adults would say if I got out. And that is the club cricket way in Australia.

[@enigmaticbloke1129]

How long are we gonna talk about this?😂😂 IPL wasn't made to make Indian International cricket better. It was purely made to tap into the huge Indian market to access the full potential of broadcasting revenue. It was never about cricket in the first place. So those who are crying about ,IPL is the reason why India are not winning need to rethink why India are actually not winning trophies. 😂😂 IPL is a success, thanks to the star culture ,thanks to the regionism, thanks to the 1.4 billion population,thanks to the love for the game. It was the perfect product to tap into every freakin Indian emotion. That's why it is successful. It was never about winning ICC events,It was always about making money. You can all cry about IPL getting bigger and taking over the cricket World. No one can take over anything unless you let them.

If the IPL has to be the launching pad for this movement, then so be it.

[@davidmeiklejohn9800]

I can see the IPL being like MLB in the US - 3/4 month season in India and other leagues are effectively feeders. Not sure it'll go much longer unless they rotate international players in and out more. T20 cricket will effectively become more of a niche sport, globally, just really played in India and a few other places. The opportunity for it going global has passed. Nothing wrong with that - most sports centre on one country - it's really only football that is truly global. I also think Jarrod is right about separating red and white ball. Just not sure how red ball survives because as cricket becomes privatised, there won't be any money coming back to national boards to support longer formats. Really, cricket is going back to its roots. Test matches will be played just between a few nations, and IPL/T20 will be more like it was in England in the 1700s where it was all private clubs and closely linked to gambling.

[@colekinder517]

I think T20 can grow in the Americas with the 2024 WC. The USA and Canada have huge niche following and the growth of the sport and the money in it has increased so much. And, other nations like Uganda, Nepal, and the UAE are becoming so much better. I see cricket growing because of T20 as it makes the game more watchable. Other forms of cricket are fun, but are not good for optics because now people judge sports performances so much off of metrics that events like test cricket can never do.

[@marathiboi96]

naah, IPL won't grow beyond 2 and half months as it's planned specifically as a summer event. The june to October time is not good for cricket as it's raining in almost all over, After that November to March is the serious time of school, where exams are held. Indian families don't allow TV much, once January arrives. March is the month when exams get over and a proper two month of summer vacation start.

Cricket fatigue is already setting in within the fans. Fans will stop watching cricket and move on to something more interesting, if it is on every day. Multiple formats is important for breaking the monotony. So is gaps in cricket schedule. Nothing beats our instinct for novelty.

[@Playerone1287]

Only sport which is more exciting to watch than cricket is MMA

There were times when the Indian and Pakistani players used to come to play county cricket to earn some extra bucks , even sachin played for Yorkshire in his early days . So it's Faire to players they will go where the money is ..today it's IPL tomorrow it could be something different you never know

[@shubhamrawat-sj8bo]

I have a though and I want to know am I crazy or not? I think IPL can be a two format series T20 and 50-50 with total 20 players in each team. The team which played better in both format should become the winner of IPL. They should make Qualifiers T-20 and knock out matches should be 50-50. If this get successful IPL can go international. Where there can be open qualifier for X amount of foreign teams and the qualified teams will play for main TITLE. This is how IPL can gather more International audience and the time period of IPL will increase too.

[@imviiku]

IPL is the best thing happened to Cricket in its 150 years history. It happened lil late but better late than never

[@mrgyani]

Indian here and I don't think the IPL would ever want to go 4, 6, 8 months a year. Neither the viewers, nor the players, nor the cricket fans world over would want that.

[@neilgovender7450]

The saddest thing is that this is going to affect test cricket. It was shameful South Africa sending an academy team to New Zealand to play test cricket so the big boys could play a t20 tournament in South Africa.

[@Devastating-queen-destroyrKing]

As an Indian I don't want IPL to extend to 3 months, i love IPL but the kick that International games and rivalries gives is different.

[@larrygerry985]

IPL is a cricket paradox, it will make a lot of money while at the sametime destroying international cricket. Cricket will become a niche sport in most of the test playing countries

[@imviiku]

It already is

[@Bhavik630]

@Ndidusbbssj It very much is.. Only in India and the other subcontinental countries Cricket matters.. even in UK where it was born is a niche or elite sport played by 10% of their population

[@Bhavik630]

@@nooneknows19 Not very likely to happen. Traditionalists in the UK and Australia watch Test cricket more as a part of their tradition and less as a sport. As a sport they prefer contact spotts like Football and Rubgy. Cricket is not a part of mass conciousness in those countries

[@manisshthakur621]

80% of the revenue in cricket is generated by one nation only. It's the second or third most popular sport in the world in terms of global viewership. The truth is, Watching Test and ODI cricket requires free time and longer attention span which a large majority of cricket watching audience doesn't have.

[@ddeviddyoung]

people talk about IPL franchises destroying international cricket like cricket had lots of international teams playing before IPL..football franchises are way bigger but not able to destroy international match popularity ...you already don't have lots of countries who play cricket so the only option is to popularise cricket and make it financial sustainable is franchised like IPL.

[@CITY_spock]

Cricket folks need to decide the goal... To grow international cricket OR To grow cricket irrespective of the mode int'l or league cricket.. Once we answer that lot of critical comments on league cricket wld stop.

[@jamesw5713]

Here's the problem with the IPL, I'm a south african living in the UK, how can I be pleasant about this.....I don't give a expletive about it and have zero reason to be invested no matter how much I've tried. Same goes for all the other T20 leagues. Now the SA20 on the other hand, very invested with my Sunrisers. I just hope the IPL doesn't end up destroying the fabric of international cricket purely to please the Indian market.

[@RuleNo2NoNames]

I don't agree IPL being extended for 3 or 6 or 8 months. The current duration is still under the limit.

[@vantheman1238]

Test cricket is massive in England. India and Australia will keep on coming.

[@Movie_Mastery993]

[@Vihari9]

This is just beginning.. Already IPL became top 5 leagues in the world..its going to explode multiple times in Next few years.. More teams will be added, players auction prices will reach to unimaginable levels.. even if they increase 2 more months for IPL then IPL will be the league everyone want to be part of..

[@PaulRoneClarke]

The issue with he IPL is keeping international interest. That is main in large part by having international players taking part. It's the key for none Indian audiences to watch. England watchers "See how Ben Stokes does" or West Indies fans "See how Andre Russell does" etc. So the issue is supply of good none Indian players. Almost everyone I know in the UK who watches IPL heavily favours games with English players. Barely watching any games outside of that. At this point you risk diluting the talent pool, not having enough games with Box Office international talent if that talent is spread too thinly. A domestic competition that is 90% Indian players playing in India probably won't work internationally. For this to work the IPL needs to be the International Premier League, not The Indian Premier League

[@Ali-lm7uw]

Eventually, IPL will have 20-25 teams and 6 foreign players in each team or even more.

[@Memes_now.]

Infact football like model will be more successful to see competition because there is money in cricket alot . And business are looking to invest , and I would like to see atleast 3 to 4 level of relegation and promotions system among cricket clubs in IPL . And even there can be champion league back

[@sherazmalik2179]

Any franchise growing bigger means bad news for proper cricket.

[@sharatchandrapullabhotla2505]

I think if they really want to grow cricket especially T20I think what ab de Villiers said is the better way. Take a franchise like sunrisers etc . IPL should played throughout the whole year For a calendar year they should target regions similar to tennis like Wimbledon ( London) , Australian open , French open. Covering all the potential areas like US, Canada, UAE, Netherlands etc. And make a big event. Slotting in international cricket in between.

[@Ozukovsky]

Why all the blame always goes to IPL? But hardly talk abut the hundred, BBL, CPL, ILT20, SAT20, vitality blast. ECB introduced T20 cricket and domestic T20 leagues. So blame has to be shared by England Cricket Board as well and funnily enough its always english media that has a problem with IPL

[@kenweston4253]

With due respect, You blokes need to talk to the leadership of European Cricket Network to get an alternative view on the future of cricket. ECN is the largest cricket playing organisation in the world playing well over 1700 televised matches last year and you haven’t shown them the respect they deserve in helping to develop cricket in Europe. They are way ahead of your thinking and understanding on cricket management and development. Operating since 2019 ECN is organising and growing cricket in Europe at a rate never contemplated. And it’s little surprise to see how many players in the current T20 WC who have actually played in ECN competitions.

[@RaviSharma-jd8gn]

If they are waaayyy ahead in their thinking they why they need others to help them develop cricket in Europe? These are not colonial times man, WAKE UP!!! The world of cricket and the IPL moved along while Ashley Giles was holding back English players from the IPL.... All the ENglish cricketers were upset! Maybe this is an indication that INDIA and the IPL got it right and you guys wrong?????? In a nutshell... NO - YOU ARE NOT way ahead in your thinking. In 15 years the IPL is an 11 BILLION dollar franchise! THEY KNOW how to get it right. ECN should ask them for inputs NOT the other way around!

[@kenweston4253]

Ravi, how long has it taken India, a power in world cricket, to develop that way? When the IPL started the organisers had to give it free to tv coverage. The IPL wasn’t a success overnight, it grew into the success it is. ECN is starting 100 years behind other established cricketing nations. Strangely enoughEuropean cricket development is based on expat subcontinent players making their homes and futures in Europe, strangely enough, the subcontinent (the likes of yourself) wants to criticise them. The kids of those people and their kids will continue to grow the game in Europe. I’m a cricket lover and follower. The world needs cricket and Europe has to be apart of WORLD cricket as does the American and African continents. For you the world of cricket is Indian cricket. Great but narrow minded! You need to broaden your mind. But back to ECN. ECN as an organisation is growing cricket in Europe from a low base. Virtually No cricketing infrastructure and little corporate backing. That will change slowly. It has advanced anti corruption mechanisms that are not found in established nations or the ICC. (My comments were based on the discussion being held at the time) Corruption is what can kill our sport. The future of the game is a clean game, all across the world. In less than 5 years of ECN we are seeing the rise of cricket in Germany, Spain and Italy. Cricket is growing in the other 30 nations in Europe. Give these nations 20 years of growth and their players will be playing key roles in the IPL and other ICC competitions. I’m Australian and I could be arrogant about where the best cricket is played but instead of that I just want to see good cricket played across the world so that cricket has a future. I wish you had that objective too.

[@markbateman9222]

Test cricket is dying because only three countries can afford to give it priority - England, Australia and India. The other countires can't afford to pay their players as well as these three countires so, inevitably, their players are attracted to white ball franchise cricket. It's where the money is for the majority of international cricketers. The two test series England play this summer are going to be very non competitve. If England don't experiment too much they are more than capable of winning all six tests. Eventually, even English spectators will tire of this. So will the only test series England paly be against India and Australia? I can see a time when this happens, maybe in the next decade. England will continue to play the various white ball formats against other countries - West Indies, Pakistan, New Zealand etc.
