BCCI May Start T10 League, Say Sources But Lalit Modi Feels It’ll Be ‘Doomsday’

After the success of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which has grown to be the most costly cricket match on this planet, sources have instructed NDTV {that a} T10 league could also be began by the BCCI. Though nothing is official, the sources have mentioned that the league is being proposed within the window the place the Champions League T20 was being performed. The Champions League T20 was a match the place franchises from totally different leagues competed.

How can a T10 League influence Indian cricket? NDTV talked to former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi on the difficulty.

“I can’t see anything impacting IPL now or going forward. It is recession proof. It might become the No. 1 sporting event in the world in terms of viewership or revenue,” Modi instructed NDTV over a video name.

“First there was Test cricket, then ODI Cricket and then T20 cricket. Now people are contemplating T10 cricket. Let’s forget about T10 for some time. ODI is dying and it should die. People should focus on Test and T20s. Allowing another format is extremely detrimental to cricket. T20 is brand new, the teams are starting flourish. If there was another window, I would have started a second T20 league in a knockout where there would be teams competing and the top four sides would qualify for the second stage where the IPL teams may enter directly.”

There is a T10 League which has been organised within the UAE since 2017.

“From the details I am hearing from you, the T10 league seems to be a tournament in which there will be a international club format. If I am right, it will be completely Doomsday from Day 1. Because there isn’t a ICC T10 tournament, all the members don’t have a T10 format,” Modi mentioned.
