Saudi Arabia plans to create World's Richest Cricket League

[Shiv Verma]

Saudi Arabia is planning to come up with the richest T20 league in the world, and they have approached the IPL owners regarding the same.
Under the current rules of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Indian players are not allowed to participate in overseas T20 leagues, and the proposal from the Saudi Arabian government representatives for their richest T20 league might have to convince BCCI to mend its rules.

Don't. IPL will lose it's USP. It is still popular as compared to other leagues are because of exclusivity of Indian cricketers.

They need set up for this .Good stadiums and spectators are needed for the success of a league.Money is secondary

Money pumping is easy but they have to get grounds, pitches, viewership as well. Plus it will not be given T20 match status like ILT20 since they are a associate member.
Don't think BCCI will give it's players for this league too. They will have retired Indian players like ILT20.

Nothing's going to disrupt. This is another ILT20 with more money.
BCCI will not jeopardize it's own league and finances for this.

While pumping money is simple, obtaining venues, fields, and spectators is also necessary. Additionally, since they are an associate member, it will not be accorded T20 match status like ILT20. It will take time to grew likes IPL and many others touranaments of T20.

Do not anticipate BCCI providing players for this competition as well. There will be retired Indian athletes there, such as ILT20.

Why do we even need their investment when we are doing fine ourselves?
