This is one tour that Bangladesh will want to forget as it was a very poor performance in all formats of the game. We all know that New Zealand is a top team but I didn't expect to see Bangladesh play so poorly. They lost every match and not only that they were beaten badly in every match which I didn't expect to see, I would of thought they would at least challenge New Zealand in a couple of matches but nothing. Its like watching the Bangladesh teams from when they first came into International cricket, that's how poorly they played on this tour. Lets hope they can bounce back and start playing some good cricket again.
I agree, Bangladesh performance was appalling - massive shock to most of us I guess. It also seemed to me that the dynamic of the team just wasn't there, the spirit was low and while they were pushing they just didn't have a change against New Zealand that came in prepared. It was surprising to see this coming from Bangladesh, but yh, they need to pull back and get into it, otherwise this will lose them many fans, and would lose their ranking.

It looks as if there are plans for a 10-team tournament, with a total of 94 matches (to be played across two and half months).

And regarding the bilateral series, they are like gold dust for the BCCI, as they generate a lot of revenue. I don't expect them to downgrade the preference that is currently given to bilateral series.
I do think that it is over kill as we are seeing a lot of franchise tournaments across the globe and these are killing international cricket as i do not care about watching other series and even though the competition in the IPL is really good right now and an increase in the team means the talents that are available right now will be spread to more teams.

Top of that two and half months of cricket for a tournament to reach its final will not help either as even the world cup will not last that long and why would a franchise tournament extend that long.

Indeed, some players have faced difficulties with BCB. Recently few senior players have revealed the behaviour of BCB, which is harsh. But Shakib Al Hasan got his pass to play in the IPL. He has also prepared himself to give his best performance in the IPL. Currently he is having quarantine time with his teammates at a hotel in Mumbai. Hope that his team KKR will have a good achievement in this IPL event.

It may happen teams from other states started to play in the IPL but it seems so far there is no good improvement on it, there was also some talks were going like 9 team or 10 teams going to be a part of 2020 IPL but nothing changed in the end. IMO this 3 month schedule is bit longer an people may get bored so nothing to be changed from the current league structure.

I agree that 3 months sounds like too much. IMO, they should increase the number of teams from 8 to 10, but keep the duration to two months. As per the revised calendar, now there is an ICC event almost every year. On top of that, there are bilateral series. So viewer fatigue will be there. I agree that IPL is a revenue generating event. But BCCI should not go for the overkill.
90 days tournament seems exaggeration to me. As far as i remember they did discuss the 9 teams format last year and maximum proposed schedule of IPL was 50ish days including double header fixtures.

I would prefer IPL over any dead bilateral T-20 / ODI series. Would be good if BCCI avoid any useless ODI series when T-20 WC is on the line and similarly when ODI WC is coming then stop playing T-20 series against every country.
IPL will be the first priority for BCCI over any other tournaments because this is bring lot of profits to them over any other cricket boards so there will be no wonder even if they increase the time schedule but they may not doing it until the pandemic over because they may loss their revenue because of no spectators and less sponsorship compared to previous years.

There were some rumors about extending it to 90 days, but I can't confirm. One source is here:

The problems with the BCB and Shakib Al Hasan is not new and there was a hurdle which was an unwanted news headline for getting the permission to play the IPL as Bangladesh has scheduled a Test series in the following months and his request to play the IPL made some confusions for some in the board and i guess it is sorted by now as he is currently in India preparing for the IPL.

IPL is extremely important for all those players who are a part of it, and that is the reason why most of the cricket boards don't schedule any bilateral series during that period. I don't know how viable it is to block two months of the international calendar every year for a franchise T20 league. But in the end, all that matters is money. And BTW, I heard that BCCI want to expand the IPL to a three-month tournament from 2022 onwards. I am not sure how much comfortable the other boards will be with that decision.

I guess by next IPL they will increase it to 120 days  Grin

Too much of T20 this year and with 90 days of IPL, half of the year will be over. BCCI will do anything to increase their revenue but with the third wave of COVID19 hitting India is it practical to have 90 days schedule. Just imagine how players will cope up with the bio bubble for those 90 days. This is too much for players and if some players get frustrated with the bio bubble then this IPL will become will be over in no time.

My assumption is that the issues between BCB and some of the senior players are having a huge impact on the team morale. Latest news is that the BCB is not allowing Shakib al Hasan to participate in the IPL. I don't know whether this is true or not. But in case it is true, then it can be very demoralizing. After all, for a player of the calibre of Shakib, IPL can be the most important revenue generator. And it's not like he's ignoring the national duty. He is making himself available all the time.

BCB's drama cost him couple of hundred thousands bucks in the auction, only due to this confusion no franchise went hard for him as no one was sure about his availability for full IPL. The very next day of auction BCB issued a statement that Shakib can play the IPL for full season.

Dick move by BCB, indeed.

Bangladesh team had the lack of a proper leadership during this tour. There was no good combination between the players. Most of the players have performed very badly in all matches. Though Bangladesh isn't good in T20 games, but their performance should have been more better than they did. Miss field (dropping catches) was one of the notable bad performance by them.
The problem is not about leadership, it is about finding young talents who could perform in fast pitches and they need to search for genuine fast bowlers if they need to start winning outside the subcontinent. The team usually win matches with the help of their spinners and once the pitch is not assisting them they start to struggle and that is evident from the series and obviously they need to improve tremendously in their fielding department as well.

Bangladesh has played terribly badly in the entire series. I didn't expect such a bad performance from them. Although the New Zealand team is much better than the Bangladesh team. Still, I expected Bangladesh to win at least a few matches. They played well enough in the last match. But there is no player in the Bangladesh squad who can win the team by batting for 171 runs in 16 overs. I won't expect them to win the last match, I hope they will lose the last match by fewer runs.
I'll not be surprised they get Whitewash tag as like ODI series. These are worthless series up until this point and every one of the matches are one sided. Bangladesh Cricket are getting down and down. Their key players Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Musfiqur Rahim are missing and it's completely demonstrated in the field. Thus, we can't expect anything special from this squad.
Hahaha, Bangladesh loses today's match too. I doubt that Bangladeshi players really know of what is they playing! Their batsmen are failed to score, bowlers completely incompetent, fielding is just disgusting. I don't remember the last time I saw such bad fielding. Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo completely failed to perform well with the team. Haturusingha was much better than Doming's.
I don’t know why did you’ll think that Bangladesh had any chance against New Zealand in this series, because in my personal opinion they were absolutely poor match after match. Furthermore Bangladesh should go back to the basics and try and improve their game, because they do have the potential and all they need to do is tap into it.

I don't think Bangladesh had any chance against New Zealand. But I thought they would win at least one match in ODI and T20 format. Honestly, I didn't really expect Bangladesh to play so badly. No match was competitive. All the matches were one-sided. As the days go by, the performance of Bangladesh team is getting worse. Some players are performing poorly in every match. Youngsters can be given a chance as their replacement.

That's what happen when 1 franchise release their players and other goes for the same players with the bidding war. Mumbai Indian has clever management, they identify the talent before anyone else and buy them at fair price. They even got Bumrah cheaply, close to 1 million and compare this with other bowlers like Unadkat. MI never released Boult-Bumrah-Malinga, you can imagine if somehow they release Boult-Bumrah then those 2 will surely attract another bidding war, same goes for poor Hazelwood.

Kyle Jamieson price is high so he needs to perform really well for the RCB otherwise he's not going to fetch another big contract next year.

This is very unfair for players such as Boult. He would easily get upwards of $1 million, if he goes for auction. But since Mumbai Indians got him very cheaply (many years back), he don't get a chance for a higher salary until the full auctions occur. And who knows? By the time a full auction happens, his form may decline and no one may bid for him. Look at Kedar Jadhav. His price tag has come down from ₹8 crore to ₹2 crore (which is not surprising actually).
Let's see what happen in the next auction, which is big one and if i'm not wrong then majority of players would be on table to grab except retention quota. Back then Kedar Jadhav was in demand, i remember his couple of excellent innings against the England -Australia and when bowling he used to be a Indian team golden arm too, so his past and present price tag is based on demand supply.
