ViruRulez Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I just saw Lalit Modi's interview on news channel and he said that there would be 10 teams which means 4 new teams/franchisees in 2011 and after that there would be no more teams for the next decade at least. He also confirmed about the 94 and said that there would be 94 games in total and the franchisees would increase from 6 to 10. He also confirmed on his twitter page that an existing IPL city cannot get another team. So, it means the 4 teams would be from 4 new cities. Which cities do you think will get these 4 franchisees. My guess are: Ahmedabad (sure shot as it is one big city without team) Nagpur (maybe Pune too but I think Nagpur would get) Lucknow (Bhopal might also have a chance but Lucknow seems to follow cricket more) Kochi (or other Kerelian city .. would mean all 4 southie states gettting IPL teams :headshake: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am more interested in which 2 cities they are going to drop from the initial 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f.b.m Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Great news. This would in all likelihood speed up the whole twantytwanty overkill. Although how are they going to reconcile the home region quota for the new teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
