maybe a league could be formed in a place like the Emirates or even Canada where u would have 7 players from the top tier of international teams and the other 4 from minnow sides...would give them good exposure playing alongside the internationals...

I agree with this.
Even if someone like Taibu Or Deschate are better than some picked ,they do not have the brand value to get picked in the IPL or the links with coaches and captains which lead to the likes of Martyn to get picked.
It will be one big positive and a bargaining tool with the ICC and other boards too for the IPL if it can help spread the game into other regions. Besides with teams increasing the quality of cricket can also go down due to lack of Indian players.

Taibu was bought by Kolkata for the first IPL auction and if I recall correctly did appear. I have no problem with minnow players being up for auction, as in the case of RtD, Taibu, Rizwan Cheema, etc. and no problem with them playing if they're good enough - as Taibu did in 2008. But forcing teams to select at least one "minnow" players - and if its compulsary to play one then they'll obviously require a couple of reserves - is just shelling out contracts for no reason. Half the current New Zealand and English T20 sides can't even get IPL contracts but suggesting a compulsary minnow player would require 20-30 more players selected for the heck of it! I doubt the Indian players will be less than impressed that this Indian league suddenly requires an extra spot for non-test playing internationals either.

He played three matches and made 31 runs @ 10.33. I love your definition of "fact", for the record.

Not make it compulsory for them to play.
Give the Franchisees a option of having 4 players overseas and if they want one extra it has to be from a minnow nation. Otherwise they can play 7 players from India only.
And not just Taibu ,I think The likes of Deschate , Noor Ali and Nial O'brien could do a good job.

May said: "When you see the figures about global revenues, a lot comes from India already. The people who already invest in global ICC events are also those to some extent investing in the IPL.
"The question is whetherthat is an incremental investment. If there is a finite ball of revenue which is being redistributed for the benefit of one rather than for the benefit of all, we will have a big problem in a few years."
Test cricket, the blue riband version of the game, is under impending threat. In six of the 10 countries where it is played, it is virtually unwatched most of the time by live audiences, while in a seventh, Zimbabwe, it has not been played for almost three years and may never beso again.
Vibrant though the game might be in three countries – England, Australia and India – there are profound concerns that most of the power, influence and, crucially, money will all belong to India. The International Cricket Council are probably worried, but what their officials possess in gumption they lack in influence, especially where India are concerned.
What do ****ing say to this??
