IPL now has window in ICC Future Tours Programme

[puneet28]

Quote

The Indian Premier League has been all but formally recognised in the new Future Tours Programme as a global event. In the next FTP cycle (2019-23), the IPL is the only domestic Twenty20 league during which all international cricket will come to a halt, for a period of two months, across April and May.

Though that has more or less been the case since the IPL began in 2008, an internal ICC document, which lists and dates all the major tournaments in the 2019-23 cycle, includes dates for the IPL alongside major ICC events such as the World Cup, the Champions Trophy and the World T20.

According to the dates submitted by the BCCI, which are with the ICC and have been identified in the new FTP, the IPL will be played each year from around the end of March until the end of May. Over five seasons, the only international cricket that might coincide with the league are two series featuring Ireland against Zimbabwe and one where England play a three-ODI series against Netherlands, the 13th-ranked side in the ODI league.

Over ten years, the IPL has become the most lucrative and powerful cricket tournament not just for the BCCI, but also for a host of the world's best players, many of whom have not shied away from foregoing international assignments to play in the league. But despite its growing impact on the international calendar, the BCCI and ICC have both been against recognising an exclusive window in the international calendar, mostly because doing so would mean it would need to consider a similar allowance for the other domestic T20 tournaments around the world.

However, it would appear that both the Indian board and the ICC have shifted from that stance. Geoff Allardice, the ICC's general manager of cricket, was in India to meet Rahul Johri, the BCCI's chief executive officer, in November to discuss the FTP in preparation for the ICC scheduling workshop in Singapore, which was held on December 7 and 8. At the workshop, where member countries fleshed out a week-by-week schedule of the new FTP, the April-May period has been left blank.

Ok, Finally India too gets a ICC recognized domestic tournament.

Whether they provide an official "window" or not - reality is that the best cricketers on the planet are going to be lining up to play in the IPL in that time-frame.  And why shouldn't they?   Even their boards make money when they play in the IPL.   It was only the stupidity of the ECB that this happened 10 years late.  Doesn't matter anyway.   

 

Just like BCCI took care of business by denying SA their home boxing day test against India, I want the BCCI to make sure that they schedule a "IPL carnival" in the same time-frame when ECB finally gets their **** together and starts a T20 tournament.

I dont like the IPL in 2019.

 

IPL ends on May 26 and World Cup starts in 4 days on May 30?

 

What kind of scheduling is that?

IPL 2019 will be preponed then.

Should end by around MAY 10th. The team travels by 15th.

For IPL to be truly global product Pakistan players cannot be avoided. Amir, Hasan can easily walk into any side.

 

Having said that BCCI should still not play PCB as pakistan just released the terrorist mind Hafiz. No action on terrorism front then no playtime.
