Former Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist has mentioned that he has by no means discovered an trustworthy reply from the Board of Control for Cricket in India about why Indian cricketers usually are not allowed to play franchise leagues throughout the globe.
“It will be wonderful (if the Indian players are allowed to play in overseas T20 leagues), I personally feel that it won’t diminish the IPL, it will only grow them as a brand. If they (Indian players) can play in Australia or South Africa,” Gilchrist informed reporters on Thursday, 28 July.
“But the challenge is we are all playing our domestic seasons at the same time, so that is a hard thing, isn’t it?,” he added.
Gilchrist’s feedback got here on the backdrop of him being requested in regards to the place of the Indian Premier League as the perfect franchise event on this planet. The Australian legend mentioned that he was not towards the IPL.
“I’m not criticising the IPL, but why won’t Indian players come and play in the Big Bash league? I’ve never had an open and honest answer: Why are some leagues accessing every player in the world? No Indian player plays in any other T20 league. I am not saying in a provocative sense, but is that a fair question?” he requested.
“I really want to highlight (that the) six seasons (I played in the IPL) I loved it. It was a great experience. It is the premier T20 competition in the world, but it is important to allow other boards and countries to prosper as well,” he added.
In the current occasions, a number of Indian cricketers have chosen to retire from the Indian set-up and transfer their base to the United States of America. Recently former Indian cricketer Unmukt Chand performed within the Big Bash League after qutting the Indian set-up.
