The ambitious Saudi League T20, which is considered to be a $ 400 million project, will not be supported by the cricket Council of BCCI or England and Wales, trying to protect its respective flagship from dilution, the British newspaper that Guardian informed.
“During the discussions at the World Championship in Lord’s World Championship this month, the ECB and BCCi agreed to unify the new league. The councils agreed to issue” no objection certificates “to enroll in the new competition.
Australia (CA) cricket probably wanted partnership with Saudi investors in the league.
“Saudi sports investment SRJ has been involved in the plans that this year in Australia to create a new league that has eight teams playing four tournaments at various places in settings compared to tennis Grand Slams every year,” Guardian said.
For CA, the main goal is to earn a profit from the inflow of cash by a private investor because the franchises of Big Bash League (BBL) are owned by the control body and states.
However, IPL is a product of $ 12 billion and ECB is ready for a richer of 520m GBP ($ 700 million) from the sale of 49% of the eight “set Franhises”.
“South Africa cricket received more than 100 m ($ 136 million) by selling franchises three years ago in its SA20 competition to the Premier League Indian owner.”
The post also said that ICC currently operated by former secretary Jay Shah will probably not be against the wishes of the Indian Council.
