‘Only 11 can play for the country…’, Ravi Shastri’s big statement during IPL

The 16th season of Indian Premier League i.e. IPL is being played this year. The ongoing IPL season is currently on an exciting turn. Soon the four playoff teams will be decided. Every team playing in the league is trying to reach the playoffs. Similarly, the former head coach of the Indian team Ravi Shastri has given a big reaction about other leagues like IPL.

According to Ravi Shastri, the number of T20 leagues like IPL is increasing worldwide. This is likely to cause more damage to ODI cricket. Because franchises are trying to sign players for long term contracts. According to Shastri, cricket is also on the path of football. Shastri also believes that cricketers will only participate in important global level tournaments in the future.

Shastri told ESPN Cricinfo, “I have always said that this will damage bilateral series. The way the number of leagues around the world is increasing, it seems that cricket is on the way of football. The whole team will come together like a World Cup and some bilateral cricket will be played. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it, Pum ODI cricket will suffer.”

International players give importance to franchise cricket rather than playing for the country. About this, Shastri said, “There are 1 crore 40 crore people in the country, but only 11 players are playing. So what will the rest of the players do? In such franchise cricket, they are getting a chance to play all over the world. So why shouldn’t they play in this league? This is their source of income.” (‘Only 11 players can play for the country…’, Ravi Shastri’s big statement during IPL)
