Sourav Ganguly Statement: The first season of IPL was organized in the year 2008 in India. Apart from being the first cricket league in the world, IPL is also the biggest league. After IPL, many T20 leagues were organized all over the world. Now the situation is that players are not able to play for their country because of these leagues. Talking about this issue, former India captain Sourav Ganguly has raised the concern of many leagues running around the world.

What did Ganguly say like this

Sourav Ganguly on Monday said players' preference for T20 leagues over international cricket is not sustainable as only a few financially sound leagues will be able to run in future. With the growing number of T20 leagues around the world, players are now preferring franchise cricket over playing for the country. After the Big Bash League, the league is now being held in UAE and South Africa. Apart from this, a league is also planned in America at the end of the year. Ganguly said during an event, “We keep talking about the leagues happening around the world. IPL is a completely different league. The Big Bash League is also doing well in Australia and similarly The Hundred has done well in the UK. The South African league is also doing well. All these leagues are happening in countries where cricket is popular. I believe only a few leagues will survive in the coming four-five years and I know which ones they will be.

PSL's condition is bad

After this statement of Ganguly, the tension of the financially strapped leagues has increased. The biggest name in this is that of PSL. Pakistan is currently facing financial crisis. Foreign players make any league shine. Foreign players also participate in PSL and those players have to pay in dollars. The Pakistani rupee is very weak against the dollar. In such a situation, it seems difficult for this league to survive for a long time.

players will understand soon

The former BCCI president said, “At the moment every player wants to join the new league but in the coming time they will know which league is important. In such a situation playing for the country will be preferred over league cricket. He said, “I was the president of the Bengal Cricket Association for five years and then the BCCI president for three years. I have also represented India in the ICC and have seen that the game is possible only with infrastructure and support.
