IPL is very popular cricket league in the cricket world and many players from all over the world are ready to participate in this league. In this league there is excitement in every match and every player participating here earns huge amount of money. The objective of the Indian Cricket Board to organize such a league is to make their cricket much stronger. IPL has produced some of the best players who are currently performing consistently well for the Indian national team. Tilak Barma, for example, scored three consecutive centuries in the T20I series against South Africa a few days back.

With the success of IPL now Indian cricketing culture is at the new level, and they are having huge fan base which lost to watch more domestic players instead of foreign players and BCCI is using this for their influence in cricket here if we have no foreign player in IPL then still things will be at the same level for them, and they will be able to have enough money through media rights.
Here I love the way because now players are having enough money which will help them for long time after retirement due to IPL and domestic market we have few Indian cricketers those are able to secure their players in top earners of sporting world and IPL is currently also one of the high paying league in sport world which is surely huge success no other cricket league can go near to them even in coming decades.
Indian Premier League has completely changed face of Indian cricket making it very popular and creating huge fan base. What is interesting is that these fans prefer watching Indian players play other than foreign players. By the way if foreign players were not allowed to play in IPL league would still be very popular and make a lot of money from TV rights. IPL has had huge impact on Indian cricketers giving them financial security that will last long after they retire. In fact many Indian cricketers have become some of highes paid athletes in world. IPL success has also made it one of highest paying sports leagues in world and it is unlikely that any other cricket league will be able to match its success anytime soon.

ACC U19 Asia Cup, 2024 has started from yesterday where there were a two matches between Bangladesh U19 vs Afghanistan U19 where Bangladesh U19 won by 45 runs. And another one was between Sri Lanka U19 vs Nepal U19 where Sri Lanka U19 won by 55 runs. In the 1st match of ACC U19 Asia Cup, BANU19 scored 228-9 runs where Kalam Siddiqui(66) did a half century and Azizul Hakim(103) did his century what made him player of the match later. But AFGU19 Able to Scored only 183 runs where Faisal Khan(58) did a half century but rest of players lost their wickets with lower runs Apart from that, in the 2nd match of Sri Lanka U19 vs Nepal U19, team SLU19 Played good enough with scoring 233 runs where Lakvin Abeysinghe and Sharujan did their half century. Besides NPLU19 scored 178-10 runs where only Mayan Yadav(62) able to impressed everyone with his half century but rest of players failed to achieve runs as expected. What's why they lost due to their poor batting performance. Although this is just a start. There are a lots to go
In this first match as well, both the teams have played very well as Bangladesh played very well in this 50 over innings which gave Afghanistan batsmen a big target. The Bangladesh batsmen had given a target of 229 runs, due to which the Afghanistan batsmen could not achieve this target and they will lose this match. Afghanistan's batsmen scored 183 runs in 48 overs and the entire team was bowled out, if they had continued to score runs slowly, they could have won this match. Hard work and not played well by Afghanistan they should improve their team as it is weak and batsman and bowler played very well from Bangladesh to win this match. If Bangladesh play with similar performance in the next matches and continue to win, they will continue to win the next matches with strength.

Yesterday on Friday, there was a meeting of the ICC, BCCI and PCB on the champion trophy and the final decision of the meeting was that India is not coming to Pakistan to play the matches and the Indian games are set to play in Dubai but at the same time, if the Indian team will not qualify for the final match then the final will be going to held on the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The final verdict is that India is not coming to Pakistan to play this big event.
The point that make me confuse that if PCB didn't have the guts to oppose this decision, why they were screaming all over the media that they will not accept any Hybrid model. Mohsin Naqvi's repeatedly talking about equality and ruling against the hybrid model, now accepting it at once. Shame on him and PCB.
What a shocker! Literally everyone saw this coming. I have no idea how PCB thought of opposing them when they are at a low point these days. It turned out to be a pointless ego battle basically.

So if there are no world stars in the meeting of world stars, then that tournament will definitely lose popularity.
I never mentioned in my earlier post that foreign players aren't required. They are essential for sure, but popular Indian players are the ones who are mainly responsible for the tournament's popularity.What a shocker! Literally everyone saw this coming.

I am not denying that Indian players are important factors in the success of IPL but still do you think that foreign players aren't important in IPL?
Try to conduct one season of IPL without international foreign players and you will find the difference. The graph of popularity will decline steeply.
All I am saying is the auction should be equal for everyone with no discrimination of local or foreign players. Obviously, a better player should be sold at a higher price regardless of whether he is local or foreign.

Update on ICC Champions Trophy
So finally the Pakistan PCB accepted the ICC hybrid model for the Champion Trophy. This is a breaking news coming out today and finally all the doubt of the Champion Trophy are over finally. The main highlight of the deal is that India will play their matches in a different country. Also if India reaches the Semi Final and the final of this tournament, that will be also be played in another country. However, if India does not reach the finals, then the final will take place within Pakistan. Also the hosting rights will also remain with Pakistan. Seems like a good decision for everyone.

What a load of crap. The IPL is primarily popular because of Indians(Not foreigners) : MSD, Kohli, Rohit etc. These new price changes should have happened long ago since Indians are the primary contributors in this league.
Any player with a half-decent brain wouldn't pull out of this insanely popular league thanks to financial and career opportunities. Think!
No league is popular for local players. IPL is so popular because of the meeting of world-class cricketers in IPL. Countries whose players do not get a chance in IPL basically do not show much interest in IPL. I usually watch IPL games to watch many high-performance players from the world play. Especially the use of advanced graphics and advanced technology in IPL makes IPL more attractive. If you notice, you will see that foreign players perform well in IPL and local players learn to perform well by keeping up with them. IPL is called the meeting of world stars. So if there are no world stars in the meeting of world stars, then that tournament will definitely lose popularity. Any player with a half-decent brain wouldn't pull out of this insanely popular league thanks to financial and career opportunities. Think!
Isn't it unfair with the foreign players if there is a price fixing and discrimination between the local and foreign players. Remember it is the foreign players that bring success to IPL as we usually see no international matches for the whole 2 months when the PSL is in progress because players from every country participate in this tournament. Such actions by BCCI won't go unnoticed and may not get a good response from these talented foreign players.

If seen, the West Indies dominated the entire match as they scored the most runs in both the innings. But it didn't work because if they score more runs in the second innings, then I can say that West Indies will be weak in the second innings. But still, West Indies scored 20 runs more than Bangladesh, due to which Bangladesh's defeat increased even more. Bangladesh's first innings also did not have that many runs as it was only 269 runs and while the West Indies batsmen scored 487 runs, you are up against the performance and strength of the West Indies. This win will reduce the value of West Indies, but if Bangladesh were strong in the second innings, they could have won this match, but the bowling and ability of West Indies did not allow them to win the match. And the bigger thing is that West Indies declared their innings by making 487 runs in the first innings.
This test format competition has total two matches and in these two matches, one was finished among Bangladesh squad against West indies squad. Bangladesh squad already lost tow consecutive test format competition I think and I fear that they will also lost this one. West indies squad dominated completely in this match and Bangladesh bowlers displayed very shit performance in first batting inning and created big trouble and West indies took great advantage and they managed to collect 450 scores. In return, Bangladesh squad just achieved 269 scores. In second innings, Bangladesh squad displayed strong performance and came back properly and restricted them to 152 scores but their batters both time delivered quite bad strength and they collected 132 scores just. Second test match will start today west indies already lead this competition with one victory to avoiding whitewash Bangladesh need to defeat West indies squad in this match.
In the auctions held in other seasons of IPL, it is usually seen that IPL teams prefer foreign players and buy foreign players for huge amounts, but we did not see anything like that in the auctions of this season of IPL. There has been a lot of emphasis on domestic players in this season and teams have been trying to sign domestic players with huge sums of money. Teams have tried to retain good players in the past but those who could not be retained have been re-purchased in the auction at high prices. Rishabh Pant Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer these three batsmen really did not think that the value would be so high. Most likely Rishabh Pant will be the most valuable player in this IPL.
There seems to be some sort of directive from the BCCI to the franchises to focus more on domestic players. Else how can you justify
Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh selling for ₹180 million each, while Lungi Ngidi and Brydon Carse going for just ₹10 million? If this trend persists, then foreign players may pull out of the IPL and focus on other leagues such as the BBL and the Hundred. Also, there seems to be price-fixing by the franchises. We saw that in the case of Will Jacks.

But Rishabh Pant has been bought for the highest amount so far and Lucknow Super Giants have spent Rs 27 crores to get this wicketkeeper batsman in the team. On the other hand, Punjab Kings spent INR 26.75 crore to sign Shreyas Iyer, the second highest ever.
Other players like Venkatesh Iyer, Chahal etc fetched record amounts too which just goes to show that most Indian players are just as dependable as their foreign counterparts in the IPL in recent history.KKR releasing Iyer after they won the IPL this year was just bizarre since his captaincy skills are top notch though his batting skills are pretty average. Let's see if he can turn things around for Punjab.
Only Mehdi Hasan Miraj has batted well for Bangladesh, everyone else has batted badly, if they perform in such a way, maybe Bangladesh will lose all the matches against West Indies.
Maybe it is too early to predict if West Indies will win all the other matches too as after this they have to play another test match and then we have an ODI and a T20 series too. A bit of improvement can help them win matches. But one can say with surety that West Indies are in complete control in this match and may win it today.
Looking back one can say that it was a poor batting performance by Bangladesh batsmen. In the first innings Litton Das and the captain Mehidy Hassan needed to play a big innings. No use getting a start and then throwing your wicket away.
