Indian Premier League into Contraversies

Finally the rights for the "Indian premier league" are obtained by the Sony group and World Sport group. Is this going to harm the actual game of cricket or is it going to create new standards for the game.

Cricket has not faced such a situation in recent past, the 20-20 was picking up it’s pace in recent times and the introduction of Indian premier league just increased the craze for this new game, some say that it is pure money making scheme what will remove that will remove the rich fabric of this gentlemen’s game. Some foreign cricketers expressed that this scheme of cricket will harm the original game (50 over and test cricket).

Although other’s say that this format of the game will bring new audiences and credits to the game. This format of the game has already been proved to be successful in countries like England, South Africa, and Australia and recently in India through this Indian cricket league.

Lalit Modi the chairman of Indian premier league said that this will be an exciting form of cricket. He also mentioned that this format will not damage the traditional format of the cricket.

Will this format of cricket Indian premier league survive?. We have to wait till April to know the answer for this question. Hope this will bring success to the young players in the teams and bring them new chances.

Indian premier league has framed some conditions for the cricketers. According to them the players can play this format of cricket without breaching any rules of their national cricket board. They have to produce a no objection letter from their board to participate in this tournament.

In other words a England cricketer cannot play in the Indian premier league without the acceptance of his countries board. They should provide him a NOC certificate for this participation in the tournament.
