express bowling Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) One of the purposes of the IPL is or should be to develop young Indian players. Make them ready for international cricket by providing them with the experience of playing against and with top international players, playing in crunch situations in front of a huge vocal crowd etc. etc. With that in mind, it is a good idea to reserve two slots in the playing XI of every team for either uncapped Indian players OR Indian players who have played less than 5 international matches. ( Perhaps a age cap of 30 should also apply to these 2 slots too. ) After all, it is the Indian Premier League. We are seeing the Praveen Kumars and Munaf Patels playing while the likes of Nathu Singh warm the benches. There are lots of examples like this. Please discuss.

Sidhoni Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Most teams fill that criteria that you mentioned of 2 players either uncapped or played less than 5 internationals : RPS : Tripathi, Shardul, Chahar GL : Kishan, Kaushik, Thampi RCB : Mandeep, Aravind MI : Rana, Krunal DD : Pant, Iyer, Samson KXIP : Vohra, Sandeep KKR : Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep SRH : Ojha SRH is the only team lacking.

Yes.... but all these players have not played in all the matches. I am talking about the playing XI of every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweaker Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Some Franchise are good in giving chances to youngsters, but some are very rigid & are not ready to give youngsters more opportunities. We have seen how Thampi, Shardul, Nitish, Rishabh, Pandya brothers, have impressed after getting enough opportunities. Bains, Kejoroliya, Sangwan, Shankar, Sundar, should get opportunities to show their talent & they can be more impressive than the older players Mosher, express bowling and sandeep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixel Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The IPL has sold it's soul for corporate dollars. Domestic comps like the PSL, BBL and CSL promote more organic talent which becomes a breeding ground for the national team. I like the premise of the OP and although it won't happen, would improve the integrity of the competition zaqw222222, sandeep, sscomp32 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just calling you out for bringing PSL in the discussion of T20 leagues. That league is a joke and doesn't deserve to be talked about in an IPL forum. sandeep and beetle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
