A close source has recently claimed that the Indian cricket board is planning to launch a T10 domestic cricket league which will be a mini version of the Indian Premier League (IPL) somewhere around September-October 2024. Nothing has been officially declared by the Indian Cricket Board yet but the source claims that the league is in the works, considering the huge success the shortest formats of Cricket are gaining.
The idea of T10 was begun by the UAE as they officially launched the T10 Cricket League. As for the IPL and the date and IPL, nothing has been confirmed if the same team franchises will also participate in the tournament along with the domestic and international players who will be part of the tournament.
A close source of the Indian-treated board revealed that the management is still in the works to analyse if the tournament can be as successful as the Indian Premier League and can gain the number of points the tournament generates.
Indian Cricket Board works for a new cricket league after IPL and WPL?
Indian cricket board recently launched the women’s Premier League (WPL) as well which gained massive success and it will be a bold step by the board to introduce yet another domestic cricket league in T10.
“Else, what’s the guarantee that it will not begin to eat into IPL’s popularity over the years? Right now, the IPL’s biggest strengths are a) It caters to Indian prime-time like no other cricket property; b) The world’s best white-ball cricketers participate in the league; and c) Corporate India looks forward to spending big on the league at multiple levels, thus ensuring the upkeep of the property’s central revenue model,” claimed the source.
“Whenever the BCCI decides to launch a new property, points A and c will always continue to remain the same given that cricket sells like no other product in India. It is point b that the BCCI might want to think twice about,” say those tracking developments,” he added.
