Cricket Australia (CA) is considering an Indian Premier League-style franchise system for the tournament and India have agreed to allow their top stars to play in Australia's domestic Twenty20 competition, reported a TV channel today.
Lalit Modi, the IPL chairman and commissioner, who is also the vice-president of the BCCI said that Cricket Australia was gracious enough to release many of their players for the IPL and now it was the Indian Board's turn to reciprocate. He also added that India would have no problem releasing its players to take part in the tournament and Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and MS Dhoni had already been cleared to play for Australian state teams if they wanted to. "It may not be on the same scale as the IPL. It may not be eight, 10 or 12 teams, but it may be six teams in Australia," Modi told Herald Sun. |
