“Their leagues want more patronage”: Sunil Gavaskar calls for Indian players to be allowed in foreign leagues
Franchise T20 leagues are currently a growing phenomenon in world cricket. After the concept became popular in countries like India, Australia and England, even South Africa and the United Arab Emirates have gone ahead with their own new franchise T20 leagues. IPL franchise owners control most of the teams in the two leagues. The prevalence of franchise cricket means that players from all over the world get a chance to play in several lucrative T20 leagues. However, unretired Indian players have not been allowed to play in any foreign league so far.
Former players have said that Indian players should be allowed to play Big Bash or hundreds. Basically, they want their leagues to have more sponsorship. They care about their cricket and that is completely understandable,” Gavaskar said
He said Indian players could be allowed to play in foreign leagues, especially in the UAE and SA T20 leagues, as most of the teams there are owned by Indian enterprises.

இந்திய வீரர்கள் பிக்பாஸ் அல்லது சதம் விளையாட அனுமதிக்க வேண்டும் என்று சில முன்னாள் வெளிநாட்டு வீரர்கள் கூறியுள்ளனர். அடிப்படையில், அவர்கள் தங்கள் லீக்குகளுக்கு அதிக ஸ்பான்சர்ஷிப் வேண்டும் என்று விரும்புகிறார்கள். அவர்கள் தங்கள் கிரிக்கெட்டில் அக்கறை காட்டுகிறார்கள், அது முற்றிலும் புரிந்துகொள்ளக்கூடியது, ”என்று கவாஸ்கர் கூறினார்
அங்குள்ள பெரும்பாலான அணிகள் இந்திய நிறுவனங்களுக்குச் சொந்தமானவை என்பதால், இந்திய வீரர்கள் வெளிநாட்டு லீக்குகளில், குறிப்பாக யுஏஇ மற்றும் எஸ்ஏ டி20 லீக்குகளில் விளையாட அனுமதிக்கப்படலாம் என்றார்.
