The International Cricket Council (ICC) will not consider creating an official window for the Indian Premier League in its Future Tours Programme, outgoing ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat has said.
According to Lorgat, giving an official window to IPL will set a dangerous precedent and open a pandora's box with similar demands coming from other boards like Australia's Big Bash League and BCB's Bangladesh Premier League.
"The consequence of that (an IPL window) is what do we do with the Big Bash League? What do we do with other premier leagues -- Sri Lanka is launching one, Bangladesh has one," he said.
