Caribbean Premier League (CPL) CEO Pete Russell has spoken about the risks posed by the Indian Premier League while also praising the value of this fantastic tournament. Let us tell you, the Indian Premier League is counted among the best tournaments in the world. Many cricketers work hard to play in this league so that big bids can be placed on them too.

Not only from India but all the players from all over the world want to participate in it. So far many great matches have been played in this great tournament. Not only this, because of the Indian Premier League, there were many young players who got new heights and today they are performing important for their respective national teams.

Pete Russell told the Jamaica Observer, ‘This is the Mecca of cricket and it is the powerhouse of cricket at the moment. Not only this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India also has this powerful power. But you also have to be careful that you do not kill the hen that lays the golden eggs. This tournament is very good and its reach is also very good but you cannot say that these players will play for 9 months of the year and then expect this result.

Not only this, you also have to remember that cricket playing countries should also be successful. It should not happen that players from West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka or any other country participate only in this tournament because it is necessary to play international matches also. India has performed very well. It can be expected that the players will perform like this in future also.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has put restrictions on its players and that is why their value is very high: Pete Russell

Let us tell you, Indian players are prohibited from playing in any other franchise league tournament other than the Indian Premier League. The top players of the Indian team are seen playing only in IPL.

Regarding this, Pete Russell said, ‘We had talked to BCCI but once you break this thing and say that Indian players should play in CPL, then other countries will want these players to play in their franchise league tournament. Also participate in. BCCI is not that stupid and that is why they have the idea to stop their players and that is why they get the right price.

If players like Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni play in leagues other than IPL, their value will reduce. However, this is their belief and there is nothing wrong in it at all. Their players also know this very well.
