Saudi Arabia plans to create World's Richest Cricket League

[Rd22]

Nobody can't stop Indian players playing for these cash rich leagues, even BCCI have no objection once a player retired from Indian Domestic and Indian cricket.

The two boards have come to an agreement on not allowing their players to participate in the proposed T20 league that seeks to implement tennis’ Grand Slam model, wherein it will be conducting events in various parts of the world, in which Saudi Arabia’s SRJ Sports Investments has pledged a sum of £400 million.

Both BCCI and ECB will also try and persuade the ICC to withhold their endorsement of the league, the idea of which reportedly came from ex-Australian cricketer Neil Maxwell, who has also secured the support of the Australian Cricketers’ Association. Cricket Australia reportedly is keen on going ahead with the Saudi-backed league, since it doesn’t quite benefit financially from the Big Bash League they way ECB and Cricket South Africa have from The Hundred and SA20 respectively. While BBL franchises are owned by CA and state associations, ECB and CSA have witnessed a huge inflow of cash after selling their franchises.

I think ICC will dead in few years, BCCI too. they are slowly exposing in cricket world. One more example Afghanistan cricket member like Test nations, But Nepal and Netherland, Scotland did everything still not proper member.

Governing body of Cricket, ICC useless in entrie world, if you compares with all other sports governing bodies.

International brand will never ever boycott bcci or ipl because of the reach they get here. And coming to gulf sponsorship we don't need it, except Aramco they hardly got any brand.

Not sure why even ZEE is mentioned here.

And another thing is gulf have money but no talent. Just look at ilt20 boring retirement league. Just throwing money will not help without local talent.

What will bcci do if this leagues sign all international players? Don't think that Indian players shallnt forgo bcci contract if they get much higher there.

Without ZEE's ICL, BCCI's IPL Never born and succeed. ICL which was Original T20 league concept in India.

Correct, current cash cow IPL nothing in front of Saudi/Gulf contract offers. their Govt support Sports growth, also they invest Public investment fund too much in sports sector. Best International players makes debut in their Sports leagues.
