maniac Posted April 2 Posted April 2 (edited) There is too much talent on the bench. Both international and domestic. IPL should introduce at least 4 more teams. There should be 2 IPLs every year. mini- IPL should be ; 4 new teams + 4 teams that finish bottom of the main IPL. main IPL- top 6 teams from previous season + top 4 from mini IPL. That way even qualifying to knockouts means something. Even dead rubbers for 5 and 6 position will be exciting in the main IPL. fk international cricket. Give me moreeee IPL views?

crictime Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Once other industrialists get into it, IPL will gradually add couple of more franchisees and a longer window for IPL. Will take few years for BCCI to get a longer window for IPL, but as soon as it is sanctioned, the franchisees are likely to be added. maniac 1
putrevus Posted April 2 Posted April 2 First find some decent fast bowlers before talking about too much talent. JaFanatic 1
deepdynamo Posted April 2 Posted April 2 10 teams are ideal for now. But what can be done is proper home and away format for all teams resulting in 18 matches per season. ( which is already in BCCI plans for the future). That will make IPL a 3 month tournament with total 94 matches with about 9 matches per week. Also do away with squad selection for full 3 months. Teams should be able to sign up for players for selected matches. For example- Harry Brook can be signed for only first 6 matches and then released. maniac and putrevus 1 1

I am sure Prithvi Shaw, Umran Malik will find takers. Even Thakur was unsold. Now add all the overseas players who got unsold. Easily can get more teams. Also someone like Muzurbani or Ali khan or Saurabh from USA etc are not bad for T20s . Plenty of T20 talent in associate teams also. Eventually if Pak team is allowed (will happen one day or the other) too there will be lot more names available. Plan should be for 2-4 teams for sure. Cricket will only benefit.
Mariyam Posted April 2 Posted April 2 12 team IPL, the format the same as now. Everyone plays everyone TWICE. And top 8 qualify, quaters-> semis-> finals. It can be a 2 and a half month event. Have 2 franchises from Mumbai and Delhi. Later the IPL can be expanded further. crictime, maniac and nevada 3

Kerala is one, maybe one for Bihar, one for Assam (covers North East) and one for J & K. that should cover most India Pune is another option but there is already Mumbai.
Ultimate_Game Posted April 2 Posted April 2 IMO 10 teams and a 3 month IPL is good enough. 2 IPLs will simply kill off intl cricket.

Or a combined team from Thane, Mira Bhayandar and Navi Mumbai which are near Mumbai and technically not a part of Mumbai with separate Municipal corporations and other administrative functions. Thane will be able to have some local players like Ajinkya Rahane, Tushar Deshpande, Prithvi Shaw, Akhil Herwadkar, Yashasvi Jaiswal who are from Thane district. There is one cricketer from Navi Mumbai whose name i am unabke to recollect now. Maybe couple of players from Mira Bhayandar and Navi Mumbai. Add few internationals and domestic cricketers to make a IPL squad of 23. Edited April 5 by crictime Mariyam 1

Vickydev Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Needs to be a weekend only league with a midweek game, extend it for 4 months if necessary
BacktoCricaddict Posted April 5 Posted April 5 There should also be an IPL Legends league. One team already qualifies to be promoted to this league. No prize for guessing which one :-) Mariyam and Lord 2
