NEW DELHI: When it involves T20 leagues all over the world, IPL emerges as the most important participant available in the market and its luck leads the opposite cricketing international locations to release their leagues however former India captain Sourav Ganguly reckons “only a few” financially sustainable leagues are going to continue to exist.
Players have began prioritizing franchise cricket over nationwide responsibility with the T20 leagues mushrooming all over the world.
The Big Bash Leaguewhich is a longtime product, simply were given over whilst inaugural leagues are being staged in UAE and South Africa in this day and age.
A league may be deliberate within the United States later this yr.
However, Ganguly stated in the longer term best leagues with an ecosystem will continue to exist.
“We keep talking about the leagues around the world, if you look at the IPL it is in a different ecosystem and different league, the Big Bash in Australia does very well, The Hundred does very well in the UK and I see the South Africa league doing very well, I have been watching it for the last three weeks,” he stated at a Sportstar tournament right here.
“The common thing among all these leagues is that they are in countries where cricket is popular. So I believe over a period of time, four five years, it is going to get to stage very few will exist and I know which ones will exist .
“Certain (leagues) will stay and sure will transfer away as a result of gamers will are aware of it isn’t that vital. Right now they’re new and everybody needs to be a part of it so you spot the push.
“But ultimately it will get back to a stage where country will be as important as the league because only a few will survive because of the ecosystem.”
Zimbabwe was once a drive to reckon with in international cricket within the 90s however cricket has declined within the nation amid administrative problems.
“It has got to do a lot with administration (teams struggling in international cricket). I keep saying that, I have been president of CAB for five years and then BCCI president for three years and represented India in the ICC, I have seen the the entire structure and support system that makes the game possible,” he stated.
“I remember I played my first world cup in 1999, Zimbabwe could beat anybody. I am sure Zimbabwe cricket did not have a lot of money then, even India did not have that much money.
“The West Indies, days of Michael Holding, Andy Roberts and Joel Garner, the place used to be the cash? There wasn’t. Administration is essential to carry directly to the gamers.
“If the relationship between players and administrators is good lot of problems can get solved. Cricket has a lot more money now, I don’t think money is the issue. There is a need to hold on to the players to play for the country .”
