Should we have more 20-20 League's like IPL & if yes where are such league's possible

[asham87]

IPL definitely has altered the Cricket in many ways. Positive or Negative is always for debate. But IPL alone should not be the sole powerful league in the world. It will create a great imbalance. In my view as IPL seems here to stay, I would favour more such league's. In my view more such league's can be possible at

1.) England :-
Franchisee model in England & Wales. If they want they can add 3 4 teams from Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands & Denmark. Though the second option will seem very unlikely. ECB had announced a rival to IPL but the plans seemed to have struck

2.) Southern Hemisphere:-
There is a proposed league with Teams from Aus, SA & NZ. I read about it a long time back. If it can work out it would be really a quality league with High Cricketing Standards

3.) Pakistan:-
Cricket is really popular and the league is bound to be popular locally. But unstable political conditions and less chance of economic match to IPL will make it more of a internal league. View's from **** people on Cricketweb are welcome

4.) Sri Lanka:-
Cannot match IPL

5.) West Indies:-
Stanford 20 20 was an initiative. Again it will never match the economic clout as equal to IPL, English or Southern Hemisphere league

6.)USA:-
Many people feel that 20-20 has great opportunity in USA. There are many optimists and pessimists on the issue.But the truth is if 20 20 pics up even because of South Asian & West Indian Diaspora it will have huge money in it.

I hope any of these league picks up and rival the monopoly of IPL on world cricket which over long term will just kill cricket.

IPL alone according to my view point is a threat to world cricket. We definitely need 1 or 2 more stronger league. Some people are really scared of the prospect but someone should stand up against BCCI and IPL. That will reduce BCCI's arrogance. I hope APL or whatever of USACA comes up very strongly and we have another money center. Not because I want cricket in USA but because if South Asians alone come and watch such league's then definitely USACA will have loads of money. Simple reason tickets in $ would be much higher than Rupee and same for sponsorships.

Southern Hemisphere league

West Indies

Sri Lanka
Search on Google. Some idea's proposed by Arvinda Da Silva

USA
American Premier League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also on google some other articles to establish 20 20 league by USACA

All are real prospects. In future may be international cricket reduces and these matches increases. Who knows. Then if IPL is the only league which becomes a 12 14 team tournament then imagine the good players of say NZ being taken by IPL. Then soon over time interest in other nations wanes out. That's the real threat of IPL and the new culture it has started

Hmmm you do research before you post. Grat

I've got the padlock in my hand. Either get back on topic or the thread gets shut.

Getting back on topic, any news on APL the initiative of Jay Mir. They had signed lots of player of ICL specially from Pakistan. They were scheduled to play last october but got postponed. Then now also heard that USACA also announced that they ll start some 20 20 league.
Also Ramiz Raja joined by aamir sohail have been raising voices about starting a IPL style PML.

Seems like jashan all the league's proposed have been stalled for some time. IPL will rule the roast for some time now

T20 is ideal for an womens league & under-15 league but looks bad on men.......i feel so

[Faisal1985]

I feel there should be only 1 global league and designed to promote quality cricket with intense competition.

An European Cricket League is possible with six teams two each from holland scotland and ireland
