In the wake of the Covid-19 Omicron scare, will IPL 2022 be held overseas? After the amid Covid-19 Omicron scare, many star players are likely to miss games.

Last time the IPL was shifted because the situation in India was worse when compared to the other countries. Also, at that point the vaccination rate in India was far below the that in neighboring nations. The situation has changed now. More than 90% of the adult population is vaccinated and now the COVID situation is better when compared to the SENA nations. From what I could understand, the only concern is regarding the tax liability. Staging the IPL in India would mean the BCCI paying around 43% of the revenues as tax. Last time they didn't had to pay any, as matches were hosted in the UAE.

@Sithara007 I don’t think last year’s IPL was so much fun, hence I hope they keep it in India only and it can be played in empty stadiums if needed. Also taxes that high will always be taken under consideration, but their viewer base will take a hit if it’s played in UAE again, hence I feel they’ll avoid hosting outside India.

Following IPL there were more leagues being organized, but weren't able to reach the popularity same as that of IPL through years. It hasn't reached this popular in a short, already 14 seasons were over. Maybe when more seasons were conducted other leagues might also gain popularity. The Indian cricket board is spending big, which is also a reason for the success. Nowhere such big amounts were spend on player auction and team franchise.

India is the biggest market in cricket by a distance. Unlike the other sports, cricket fans are not uniformly distributed across the globe. 90% of them are concentrated in South Asia, and even within that India forms the lion's share. So it is not surprising that the IPL is by far the richest league as far as franchise T20 is concerned. In the next 5-10 years, I am sure that the IPL will become the world's richest sports league, overtaking US leagues such as National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB).

You have a valid point. Cricket is the center of attraction for the South Asian Region. Countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka have huge populations. In fact, India is the 2nd largest country by population and so a T20 league organized by and in India will have more revenue automatically. Also, India has big investors and also BCCI has a lot of money to spend on IPL which only makes it bigger every year.

It is expected that Ben Stokes will walk away from IPL2022 and focus on playing in England's County Championship ahead of England's home summer. It is in his best interest to be ready for that. An injured player cannot just play T20 and hope to be ready for the longer version. Even COVID could now affect the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL). In the wake of the Covid-19 Omicron scare, will IPL 2022 be held overseas? After the amid Covid-19 Omicron scare, many star players are likely to miss games.

Stokes looked cooked in recent Ashes series so its not a bad idea and the way they performed in the Ashes, i won't be surprise if more English players (Test) pull out their name from the Mega Auction.

There is some serious debates going on there about resetting county and test cricket.

Sri Lanka and i think SA are on the card for the 2022 IPL venues if something goes wrong.

Same thing for IPL. Yes, there are some competitors to IPL like the Big Bash, but IPL itself is way too big for anyone and the money put into it is huge. Players also benefit more than any other league.

The success of IPL should be related with population of India and the cricket followers from India. So, obviously IPL must be the leader in T20 leagues with userbase and revenue generations. Big Bash evolved into multiple level from how it was originated like they introduced women big bash and long tournament but not sure about its revenue.
IPL is the pioneer and highly paying league to players; ICC do allocate around 50 days for it every year which must be the enough proof to understand about how huge it is among all T20 leagues.

Yes, you are right. If I'm not wrong, IPL was the first-ever franchise T-20 league and was the only T-20 league for a large amount of time. As a reason, the limelight it gets is nothing close to any other league. So it is only normal for ICC to allocate a month or two for IPL as it helps ICC as well.

A big reason why IPL is still the biggest league is because the BCCI has a huge amount of funding for the players, organizations, and also for marketing. Also, big companies investing in them make them easier to buy more players, pay the players a handful amount of money, thus bringing in more players.

How did you guys missed this news? Undecided

I remember Rambo was talking about taking down western cricketing block when NZ and ENG cancelled their tour and ofc non stop anti PIG 3 statements over the years from different PCB's officials.

But now Rambo is saying that it should be PIG 4. What about SL, SA, NZ, BAN etc?

https://twitter.com/iramizraja/status/1480961596197384192

I also came through this news but ignored it. Don't know what makes Raja propose such plan, when India has strictly refused to play with Pakistan due to political reasons. Also CA plan to visit Pakistan in March is sceptical. In such situation it looks funny that PCB chairman has proposed such plan, lets see what other boards say about this.

That's why this PIG-4 idea came at first place but i won't be surprised if existing PIG 3 group completely ignored them and add SA or NZ instead. After all Ganguly came up with this quadrilateral series proposal, when he took the BCCI.

Some players might back down but i wish that tour should go ahead despite all challenges and want nothing but clean sweep by Babar & co.

The PCB is open about their plan and they are welcoming a series with India, how the politicians will allow that is a different story and if they play it is one of the biggest viewed matches globally and the fans are deprived of watching these high profile matches for decades.

After hearing some of the post match shows during the Ashes, i do not think the tour of Pakistan is skeptical, everyone is open to that tour including the players and it is possible it will carry on as planned if everything goes well.

And it is clear that ICC will surely give privilege to whoever is paying them and thus they stop normal international cricket. so that players can IPL is that time and their international fixtures don't overlap - which happens in the case of other leagues and that's why they don't have that many players playing.

- BCCI only pay fixed amount to cricket board not ICC. Having said that if you look at from ECB and CA's point of view or even CSA,NZC these amounts are peanuts for them tbh.

I believe no one can do anything about IPL as long as players are getting benefit from it and time will come to that useless bilateral series would fade away and lose to franchise cricket.

This has become a thing like Google.
For example, no one can beat Google in the search engine genre as they don't have any competitors.
Same thing for Youtube - no competitors.

Same thing for IPL. Yes, there are some competitors to IPL like the Big Bash, but IPL itself is way too big for anyone and the money put into it is huge. Players also benefit more than any other league.

Your half statement is correct that this is nothing serious for cricketing fans because no one going to take this as good specially from BCCI as they will never agree if anything is going to be profitable for Pakistan and PCB, so I am also feeling it's crap idea from Rambo and his team right now they need to give some better time for internal issues which are more important instead of having ideas like this.

With Australia is coming in Pakistan even their very few players are not interested like Warner, Maxwell and Starc but many other players are coming surely, and they are going to fulfill their commitment about this tour because now it's very significant for all. Right now situation is much improved and things are going even better in next few weeks with PSL7 is also going to start after few weeks with some strict rules.

I don't think there are serious internal issues in PCB team that need serious attention. AFAIK, Pakistan team is performing very well in international matches and are one of strong team right now. I do agree that big 3 plus NZ won't accept this idea but its a good idea that top 4 teams competing against each other.

I agree with you on bilateral series. Still I would continue to hold a few of the series (such as Ashes, Border-Gavaskar and Trans-Tasman) in high regard. In every other sport (football, basketball, field hockey, baseball.etc), the lion's share of time is devoted for franchise leagues. International matches are rarity, and in case of football they are confined mostly to FIFA tournaments such as Euro Cup, Copa America and World Cup. It may take some time for cricket to make this transformation. But the sooner that happens, that better.

I believe there could be numerous reason but key reason I feel is that it’s quite possible that PSL is sharing less revenue with the board, and that’s why CSA decided to not send their player’s. Lastly for all the hate IPL gets people should realise BCCI actually pays the board and the player’s more money than they would have usually earned if normal series were in place, and that’s helped so many player’s develop well for their country too.

As far as I know, only IPL has this model of paying 20% of the player salary to the national cricket board. That is the reason why the ICC has agreed to block two months of international calendar every year, so that the tournament can take place without any hiccups. For other leagues such as PSL and CPL, the ICC has not given similar relaxations. One thing I would like to see is more associate players participating in the IPL. Previously we had Sandeep Lamichhane from Nepal, but currently there are no players from the associate nations participating in this tournament.

I also feel they would not do the same for IPL and we all know the reason. If they do try the same then players might leave the national team as they do get paid more in IPL. I still do not support this decision of CSA. They should reconsider it.

The decision has been made in the light of recent performance of SA team. Main players leave national assignments for leagues. It happened last year when players left series with Pakistan for IPL, South Africa To Allow IPL-Bound Players To Leave Pakistan ODI Series Midway: Report. IPL is a different thing, IPL not only pays the players but also the board. If PSL want SA players then they have to pay PCB some $$$.
