BCCI should start discourage & object growing anymore of these PL. Firstly cause they are taking market share off-course, but more importantly secondly this is just bad for cricket overall; especially if these smaill islands starts their own PL show in a busy test nation like WIndies, soon test cricket will die there for sure. IMHO Not every nation has cricket-crazy or cricket-educated viewers like India to take such stretegic decision to gamble upon domestic cricket.

I say that we should let other countries start their own T20 leagues. As long as we keep our players away from them, we should be fine.

[shuraim]

to be honest all these t20 leagues are waste of time,

[1983-2011]

twenty20 leagues are the future for cricket, some will be corrupt and some will be weak but thats how it goes, all the t20 specialist players should become freelancers

Only IPL and perhaps BBL have the quality of players, infrastructure, crowds, marketing to make these leagues work. Every other league is just meh.

I think these sort of leagues would generate more interest towards the game of Cricket in their countries. If huge money is involved in these sort of leagues, it would inspire many youngsters to take up cricket. Esp. in West Indiies where cricket is a dying sport. I would 100% welcome these sort of cricket leagues. Hell with Indian fans who laugh without knowing the facts.

When is Ugandan premier league starting?

[Tiger-Don]

NO NO NO! not anymore please

[Crookbond]

Cricket "dying" in the West Indies? :blink:

The fans their prefer Test cricket. Bangladesh has the crowd, interest, but infrastructure and marketing wise we are quite poor
