AB de Villiers: IPL should be a 9 month tournament like the EPL and be played around the world

[sage]

 

[vvvslaxman]

Should be 12 month with no break.

He made no sense, IPL team playing against other domestic teams all over the world? 

[Lord]

Agree, only way an Indian side can win a tournament

No thanks ABDV

But we already win the IPL every year

People will lose interest. Even now it is such a drag.

That's because it is every day now. With this format, it'll be on weekends.

Very insightful thought from ABD. Is he still on RCB franchise payroll?

may be bring back champions league and see if that works now.

Well I think his point is w.r.t playing across the globe so all conditions. So, it actually loses the definition of IPL. It becomes more of an international premier league.

AB is wrong! It's BPL, not IPL.

[DeepSpace]

That means full time Pee chaloo? The bladders will wear out!!!!

[Zero_Unit]

why do retired players come up with so many useless innovative ideas?

They know that people have started losing interest in India with a cricket overload.

This smells like pure Business Continuity Planning and Management.

9 months of hotel stay for players or players travelling every weekend to India ? Logistical nightmare for both players and franchises.

At least 6 months.
