LOL. Sri Lanka is starting its own Cricket Leage.

Maybe we should start a Champions League like tournament for all the Top T20 Clubs

 

[Boson]

Won't it be better if the already existing clubs can take part directly .... e.g. Delhi Daredevils

New clubs highlighted above should also complete (I am not saying, only the same clubs which participate in IPL compete).

Possibly there will be too many clubs .... but crunch for cricketing talent will ensure than only the best clubs survive.

It's time the cricketing clubs became globalized, and not country specific.

Any Indian Players in SPL????

As per my information Nope,We already have a very bussy schedule so that's why BCCI opted out of this tournament and i think this time most of us will agree with them....

and secondly BCCI are not going to get any monetary benefit through this tounament....and our BCCI only follow one rule "No Honey without Money".....

Btw i will support NAGAS and BEARS

Indians didn't invent the league system. They were just instigators of the system in this particular sport.

Good luck to Sri Lanka. Hope Sri Lanka will invite Indian players for future tournaments.
