Despite the COVID issue, a number of overseas players are taking part in this year's edition. I checked the squad list for this year's edition and those who caught my eye are Andre Russell, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Sunil Narine, Oshane Thomas, Chadwick Walton, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Colin Ingram. Some of the Sri Lankan players had to pull out, because the SLC refused to provide NOC. I watched the highlights of the first two matches and they looked interesting enough. But then, there is simply too much cricket going on at the moment.
Such leagues are beneficial for players like Gayle, Afridi who retired from international cricket or players who are not playing international cricket for some reason. I can't recall how many leagues are going on right now, this is badly disturbing international cricket. It seems like future lies in these leagues and little room for international cricket.
