Over the last few years, many foreign leagues have grown rapidly, and fans have often wondered if India's biggest stars could one day feature in tournaments like The Hundred, the Big Bash League, SA20, or Major League Cricket. But Ashwin believes that possibility is still far away.
Well, Ravichandran Ashwin feels there is a strong reason behind this approach. The IPL has become the biggest T20 league in the world, and one of the main reasons is that all leading Indian cricketers play only in the tournament. Keeping them exclusive to the IPL helps the BCCI to maintain its popularity and value, as opined by the former Indian all-rounder.
Don’t think it’s going to happen: Ashwin on Indian players in overseas leagues
Interestingly, Ravichandran Ashwin himself is currently playing for a team in Major League Cricket in the USA. He became eligible only after retiring from Indian cricket. He had also planned to play in the ILT20 and the Big Bash League, but those moves did not happen.
Ashwin further added, “Enabling them to move on to another league, especially when they’re contracted to play for their country, I don’t think it’s going to happen. But you will see one-off cricketers here and there who will turn up and play in some of these leagues.”
BCCI mulls new rule to stop early retirements
Soon after that, reports claimed that the BCCI is considering a new five-year cooling-off rule to stop players from retiring early just to play in foreign leagues, as many such cases, like those of Ambati Rayudu and Vijay, have been coming into the light.
