The shortest format of the game is usu-ally popular across the globe because of its fast phase action and short duration of time. The Indian players have stamped their authority in the Indian Premier League but they are not allowed to play in the T20 events of some famous countries.
Their attendance is limited to India which has affected their game a bit. There are few T20 events which could prove to be beneficial for the Indian players. The credit should be given to India for making T20 a popular format through IPL. It is this cash rich league which has attracted players from across the globe and has given an idea to other nations about futuristic tournaments. It is no more a hidden fact that cricket will only survive if proper place is given to the shortest format of the game. India as a nation has lend enough services to T20 matches but the restriction adopted by BCCI to other T20 events as far as Indian players are concerned is uncalled for. I am pretty sure that Indian cricketer would improve if they are involved in other T20 franchise based leagues. Moreover, if players outside India are participating in the IPL then Indian players should get permission of applying their trade. The vision shouldn’t be limited to only financial resources as the development of players is most important for any cricketing board. The exposure a player gets outside his own territory is what decides his growth. Apart from this, it could help him in performing better when he goes on a tour with his national team. It is not that overseas domestic competition are lacking in quality. The few of the leagues which the Indian players should play in are:
