And what would be the timeline for reaching 20 team competition? I believe a minimum of 20-25 years from now on.

IPL franchise expansion might work against BCCI in the future (not in the context of bilateral tho because these useless series are going to take a hit anyway) but for some time, let's say a decade or so these other T-20 leagues will work as a feeder for IPL.

20 years sound too long for me. IPL is growing at a pace that no one might have imagined a few years ago. IPL franchises are getting sold for almost $1 billion per team. Media rights are being sold for $1.2 billion per year. A few years ago, no one might have imagined these numbers were possible. My prediction is that by 2030 or so, IPL will be a four-month tournament played by 20 or so teams and the media rights will be worth anywhere from $3 billion to $5 billion per year. Player salaries can go up by 10x, and maximum salary may touch $25 million per year.

20+ teams in IPL is possible, but this will surely affect the bilateral series and other tournaments. This will make players give importance to IPL than national cricket. Finally everywhere it is possible to see the franchise of IPL holding teams in each and every T20 league around the world. Right now South Africa T20 league teams were owned by different IPL franchise and now Texas Super Kings team owned by Chennai Super Kings on the Major League Cricket. Now the promotion is happening in USA. Slowly cricket is getting all around, even on countries where cricket isn't much followed.

The IPL window is going to get extended further in the future. Right now we have 10 teams and a 2.5 month window. Sometime in the future, we might see a 20-team competition with a 4-month window.

20 freaking teams? That would be insane and I doubt that would ever happen since the current 10 team format itself attracted a lot of criticism due to prolonging the duration of seasons stressing out the players and the crowds.

More like never. Too many teams would imply too many matches which would mess up the entertainment factor related to the IPL.

@Sithara007 even the current members of ICC are just interested in making money nothing more because the way matches are scheduled and the way IPL was granted the extended window says it’s all. Furthermore I don’t know if the alternative is worst or no but the fan’s and the media should try and make the ICC accountable because it’s high time they stop being authoritative and start taking making decisions.

The IPL window is going to get extended further in the future. Right now we have 10 teams and a 2.5 month window. Sometime in the future, we might see a 20-team competition with a 4-month window. Already the IPL franchises are trying to enter into direct contracts with some of the overseas players. And they own teams in different leagues around the world, such as CPL, GT20 and ILT20. In the next 5-10 years, ICC and BCCI will get a taste of their own medicine, when the IPL franchises will take over world cricket.

ICC is to blame for everything bad that has happened in cricket in my opinion. I said that because they simply couldn’t actually hold that authority that they should have. What is the point of having a sports body if they are controlled by the big four teams? ICC should have taken a firm step in this situation.

Back then it was the Pawar/Srinivasan era. These two were only bothered about making money for themselves. Only when the mafia was kicked out by Jay Shah and Anurag Thakur, the horror story ended. And this is also one of the reasons why I don't oppose Jay Shah too much. Because the alternative is a lot worse. The only difference is that instead of Pawar/Srinivasan, it will be their nepotistic children (Rupa Gurunath and Supriya Sule) who are even worse. In less than a year, general elections are due in India. If NDA loses, then we'll again see Pawar/Srinivasan controlling the ICC.

Uganda have outlawed Kenya in a one off tournaments final match by a run. Uganda have scored 125 runs in 20 overs losing the entire wickets. Kenya started to chase the target with consecutive wicket fall, however the score kept coming along the way. Finally 24 runs required in the last 27 balls with 6 wickets in hand. Kenya wasn't able to reach the target and lost the match by a single run. Kenya seems to be better in ODI cricket whereas it wasn't able to perform big in T20.

Just tell me, how a team that was in the semifinals of the 2003 World Cup not play even a single match against full members before playing in the 2007 World Cup? The 2007 World Cup was the World Cup of surprises. If Kenya actually continued playing against full members of the ICC, I think they were also going to do well in the 2007 World Cup.

You are missing all the crucial aspects, New Zealand refused to play against Kenya in Kenya as they were the co host during the 2003 World Cup, match fixing had a huge impact and the conflict between the players and their Cricket board and they were not able to replicate that World Cup success after that tournament and they were given opportunities to face national A sides and they were not able to defeat them either and you think a full member team should play during that period.

But I don't know why the teams like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe refused to play against them. On the other hand, Bangladesh was provided with tons of opportunities at the same time. Anyway, Kenya cricket is now almost defunct.

I explained the reason above and in other Cricketing threads as well and on top of that the Kenyan Cricket board also got dissolved during that period and without a Cricket board there is no national team and you cannot blame the ICC for that.

England was controlling Cricket from its inception till the late 80s, India literally forced them to move the World Cup out of England in 1987 and then only Australia got the opportunity to host them in 1992 and other countries got the opportunity to host because of that tactical move and by that time India became a huge revenue generating market for the ICC and other countries can aspire to do the same and never expect to get these opportunities in a golden platter.

Well.. the full member nations simply refused to play against them. I am not just talking about the pig-4 (BCCI, CA, ECB and CNZ), but also about the other full member boards such as the SLCB, WICB and ZC. For a team like India, playing against Kenya was not a revenue-earning option. That was understandable. But I don't know why the teams like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe refused to play against them.

I simply think that it was because they did not see the potential that the Africans had in cricket. I don’t think there should be an option for the teams if they actually do or don’t want to play against a certain team. The decision should be taken by the ICC. But obviously, ICC was not controlled by the ICC themselves. It was controlled by the big four.

Here I will blame ICC because they need to be stick about their game's quality which is important, but they are not doing anything about this and discouraging Associate countries just because of playing against big nations are not good for their finances here they must act and bring better policy which helps all nations for increasing quality and having experience because if you want to bring more teams in system then actions like these are must.

Even if they can't big regular teams then playing against A team from big nations are also helpful for them because now it's time for having few events like Under-17 and Under20 because this will help youths, and they will be able to have better technique and experience.

Yes, if Kenya had been consistent since 2003, they would have been a much better team than West Indies or Zimbabwe at the moment because they had the experience of beating big teams. ICC is not doing anything to prioritize any potential team. There are currently 85 countries in the ICC Cricket Ranking list. This situation seems that they are interested in adding more countries to cricket just for quantity. But what they really deserve that is not clear. ICC needs to give special facilities to those who love cricket and those who truly try to develop their cricket.

How can they be consistent when they were not allowed to play against full members during the 2003-2007 period? They played a few matches during the 2003 World Cup. The next opportunity came during the 2007 World Cup. In between they played zero matches in 4 years against full members. And the funding actually went down during the same period. And the so called 85 "associate member" list is a myth. At least 60-65 of these teams doesn't have a single citizen in the team and are entirely comprised of tourists and students from India/Pakistan.

We all know that it is just Kenya not being able to keep people on paycheck who come from another country because the financial situation of Kenya is not that good, which is the reason why they are not doing well right now in cricket. I am sure that if they did something like those “associate nations“ are doing, they would have also got a good amount of funding from the ICC.

I don’t think Kenya is going to reach the same level that they did back in 2003. At least they are not going to reach that level any time soon for sure. The ICC is the only reason why a lot of teams like Kenya have not been able to improve at all.

Basically, in 2003, I believe it was the Srinivasan Pawar mafia in the power of the ICC. Maybe they thought that giving the test status to a country right beside India was going to give them a better market for cricket.

Remember at that time Bangladesh was not a good team. So probably the thought that Bangladesh cannot play well themselves so they are going to watch cricket matches of India. That is going to generate more revenue.

Everything is possible to achieve in this current world with Kenya can achieve their best again but now here they need to work on few things with domestic setup and development of their players is very important, and they never need to rely on ICC because they also need to work on this by themselves as well because now recently we have good changes in this and investment is also coming which is important for the game and countries as well.

If ICC is not going to help them, African countries need to work on few things which surely can bring good development and changes for many countries which are involved in this game, franchise league is surely good way of having good funds and any African league which have a good number of teams can bring good intention and money as well.

Kenya of 2003 was a very strong team. Some of their players, like Steve Tikolo and Maurice Odumbe were as good as any of the full member players. They defeated full members like India and West Indies multiple times. During the 2003 World Cup, they defeated Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the same tournament. At this point, the ICC could have increased fund allocation for them and provided more chances against full members. But after the 2003 World Cup, they never played against a full member nation until the 2007 ODI World Cup. On the other hand, Bangladesh was provided with a lot of support both by the ICC and by the BCCI.

Kenya was in good position earlier, and the performance have went downwards. The team have played 5 World Cups, and later it had big break. The new team and the new players are once again forming the team better. However the team losing its one off tournaments against Botswana and Uganda is really unexpected. Once again Kenya to play against Botswana tomorrow, and this time Kenya needs to win the match. Cricket is much on Asia and now getting widespread around Africa and other parts of the world is a needed one for now.

The players themselves lost interest in the game as a result of lack of support from the ICC. This is what happened to Kenya. Anyway, to their credit, Kenya has finished at no.2 in the group stage. They won 6 out of the 9 matches to finish with 12 points. But at this point, Uganda seems to be the strongest team from East Africa region. They managed to win 8 out of their 9 matches. The final will be played tomorrow at Gymkhana Club Ground in Nairobi. BTW, many thanks to International League T20. They are the organizers of this event. They sponsored this event, to show their commitment towards global expansion of cricket.

The level of cricket that is being played by different countries compared to 20 years back is much progressive. So, no one will be expecting such a reach from Kenya. The power holders always want to take advantage and this continues forever. We don't know what exactly the power Mafia were thinking, but they were much tricky thinkers and the politics continues forever. ICC have destroyed more teams that have made good progress in the past. Kenya and Zimbabwe can be added to the list.
