The England and Wales Cricket Board
(ECB) is planning to launch a rival
Twenty20 league to the Indian Premier
League (IPL) and the Big Bash League
(BBL), according to a report in The
Telegraph on Wednesday (July 27)
which will be the most radical
overhaul in English county cricket's
history.
The tournament is likely to be
launched in early 2018, and will be
played over a four-week span. The
launch of the competition along with
the Natwest T20 Blast meant that
England would be the only country
with two domestic T20 competitions
scheduled in its domestic calendar.
According the proposal, the counties
will be shareholders and the players
will be auctioned with the income from
broadcast deals to be funding for
salaries.
The counties, however, are keen on
carrying on playing their T20
competition on Friday nights that
amount to substantial revenue
alongside the proposed competition.
