Saudi T20 League: There is now a new threat to the cricket leagues around the world. This danger is the super-League proposed by Saudi Arabia. The introduction of this league may have to suffer the most losses to IPL and The Hundred. India and England have started making strategies against this attempt to weaken IPL and The Handrade. In England, the Indian Cricket Board has joined hands against this league. On the other hand, Australia is ready to take advantage of this billions of dollars of league.

BCCI and ECB came and said, NOC will not give players

According to the report of the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’, the Cricket Board of India and England has taken a tough stand against the proposed T20 League of Saudi Arabia. During the World Test Championship final played at Lord’s, there was a talk between the BCCI and the top officials of the ECB on the issue, after which it was decided that both the boards would not support the new league.

Both boards have also decided that they will not send their players to play in this league. The board will not approve this to the players. That is, NOC (No Objection Certificate) will not be released by the board. Apart from this, BCCI and ECB will also put pressure on the ICC not to give any official recognition to this league.

Australia in support of league

While India and England are opposing this T20 league, the decision of Cricket Australia (CA) is completely different from this. According to the report, Australia is ready to participate with Saudi investors in this league. This is an opportunity for Australia to bring private investment in its cricket format, because the Big Bash League (BBL) has the right of governing body and state associations.

400 million dollars and Grand Slam -like format

This Saudi Arabia’s proposed T20 League can be started by Sports Investments as SRJ is ready to invest about Rs 3442 crore in this league $ 400 million i.e. about Rs 3442 crore according to Indian rupees. There will be 8 teams in this league which will play four tournaments every year by visiting different grounds. This league will be in the same way as the Grand Slam of tennis is played.

This kind of different format and all the money together can become a big threat to the existing leagues. This is the reason that BCCI and ECB have already started making strategies against it.

Saudi T20 League: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has moved towards destroying a mega project of Saudi Arabia. In fact, the BCCI has joined hands with the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and the matter is related to the Saudi T20 League, which is expected to invest more than Rs 3,000 crore. It is now reported that the Cricket Board of India and England will not show the Saudi T20 League.

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, after the meeting held during the World Test Championship final match played at Lord’s, the BCCI and ECB have agreed to protest against the Saudi T20 League. It has been agreed between the Cricket Board of the two countries that they will not issue NOC (No Objection Certificate) to their players to play in this new league. Also, both boards have pressurized the Saudi T20 League not to support.

According to this report, Cricket Australia (CA) is focusing on earning profits with the investors of Saudi. The CA support may not have much impact on the Saudi T20 League as the brand value of the IPL is more than 12 billion US dollars, while ECB is going to make a bumper profit of about 700 million US dollars after selling 49 percent stake in the teams in ‘The Hundred League’.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) is also in profit, which gave ownership of the franchisees to the IPL teams 3 years ago. With this deal, CSA was said to have a profit of about 136 million US dollars. According to the news, Saudi Arabia investors are going to invest about Rs 3,442 crore in the Saudi T20 League.
