zen Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) BCCI may need to consider the possibility of having 2 IPLs in a year. The 2nd could be a mini one based on a team playing "100 balls". Below is how I have imagined the format (to differentiate from the regular IPL): Groups w/ SFs & F (for 10 teams) The teams divided into 2 groups A team plays one game each against teams in the same group Top 2 teams from each group meet in the SFs, the winners of SFs in F Groups w/ SFs & F (for 12 teams, when 2 teams are added in future) 3 teams in each group Group winners clash in SFs; winners of SFs -> play the F a 100-ball event Power Play = First 5 overs (30 balls) Mid Overs = Overs 6 to 12 (42 balls) Death Overs = Overs 13 to 16 where each over is of 7 balls (28 balls) Other rules No restrictions on number of international players in a team (so provides more options to teams considering availability & need to adjust quickly in a short tournament) Max overs by a bowler = 4 overs, therefore, a team can do with 4 bowlers There are a lot of differentiating factors for the Winter IPL to have its own charm.

As for your question, domestic tournament can take place as per its schedule. In a short tournament, a team does not need a big squad. If select domestic players play this IPL, new domestic players will get the opportunity to play in their place in domestics … As I mentioned in the OP, a team can field an 11 with international players if it wants to.

If the quality of players deteriorate due to fewer test matches / fewer matches in Ranji Trophy / top new talent unable to play Ranji Trophy then both the quality of the IPL as well as international cricket will go down. I strongly wish that there is no 2nd IPL a year. One high quality IPL for 2 months is the best. Edited June 15 by express bowling Link to comment

SeasonedIPLer Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 They need to play 2nd IPL in ChampionsLeague format. only top 8 teams of IPL get to play it so there is some sort of punishment if you don’t finish top 8 Link to comment

In 2022, Ind played WI, SL, & SA, and will play Ire, Eng, WI, Aus, Asia Cup. & World Cup ... Extending this logic, India should only be playing limited cricket as more cricket would kill ...

However, BCCI is unlikely to consider anything shorter than a 100 ball event & a 2nd IPL, which some cricketers including Ravi Shastri have talked about. So one can shed tears first (for no strong reason) and then accept … or be open to see how the 2nd event if/when it comes is more meaningful! Edited June 16 by zen Link to comment

Gollum Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Even if they have plans of a second IPL hope it is similar to CT format. 8 teams divided into 2 groups if we have single round robin, or maybe 3 teams each in 2 groups where we can have double round robin. Then SFs, bronze medal match, F. Incentivize teams to finish in top 6 or top 8 in the longer (summer) league, that way almost all games in IPL will have high stakes, even those involving wooden spoon contenders right till the end. Should finish it within a fortnight. Maybe host it in foreign venues like UAE, Florida, Guyana, Aus, NZ, RSA to engage our diaspora (also persons of Indian origin) and some gora/WI fans as well...to give it a more global feel and test our players in alien conditions (especially true in Southern Hemisphere venues). Winter IPL probably rules out Toronto, Eng as venues unless they decide to go indoor, that again is inevitable, even football will go indoor in many places by the end of this decade.

A viable option ... IPL is not just about Indian players but also international ones ... Playing in India makes Indian domestic players highly competitive as they are used to the conditions. Playing overseas will be a good experience for them, allowing them to understand different conditions better Gollum 1 Link to comment
