Shock to PCB, ECB bans players from participating in PSL, but gives green signal to IPL
PCB has suffered a major blow as the ECB has barred England cricketers from participating in the Pakistan Super League. PSL (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has given a big blow to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Let us tell you that the ECB has banned contracted players from participating in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) during its domestic season. However, the players have received the green signal to play IPL. On the other hand, if we tell you about this new policy of ECB, it will be seen preventing contracted players from participating in foreign cricket leagues during England’s domestic cricket. After this, there is a possibility that English players may not be seen playing in other T20 leagues including Pakistan Super League, Sri Lanka Premier League during the domestic cricket season. The main reason behind this decision of ECB is to maintain the quality of domestic cricket tournaments like County Championship, Vitality Blast and The Hundred. This new policy of ECB prevents English players from participating in two continuously running parallel cricket leagues. Earlier, players could participate in any other event for another team after their team’s exit from a T20 league. However, now it will not be easy for the players to do this. Richard Gould gave a big statement Regarding this new policy, ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould was quoted by NDTV as saying – This policy gives clarity to players and professional counties about our approach to issuing NOC. This will enable us to strike the right balance between supporting players who want to take advantage of the opportunities to earn and gain experience, while also protecting the integrity of cricket globally. It is noteworthy that in the last few years there has been a significant increase in the volume of T20 cricket leagues. Today, almost every country playing Test cricket has its own T20 cricket league. However, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is at the top of all these leagues.

And have played against him a lot too. We have grown up together. To score so many runs you would think that he would have to be a little selfish as a player, but not so, he is completely dedicated to the team. Stokes further said- From my perspective when I saw how many centuries Joe Root has scored and how many matches we have won. Were we over or under the line because of his century, but when I look at him he is like a stick. The selflessness that he possesses is an incredible quality. He always puts the team first. The fact is that he has scored so many runs and there is plenty of time for someone else to break his record. He is an incredible player.

ECB’s plan to privatise The Hundred is getting delayed, know the whole matter here
According to Vikram Banerjee, director of business operations at ECB, it will take them some time to find the right partner who will bring not just money but also expertise. England and Wales Cricket Board (Image Source: ECB) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had earlier announced that they have started the process of privatising the eight teams participating in The Hundred tournament. According to Vikram Banerjee, Director of Business Operations at the ECB, it will take them some time to find the right partner who will not only bring money but also their expertise. According to ESPNcricinfo, each county involved in The Hundred has a 51% stake – which they can either hold on to or sell for money. The ECB has the other 49%, for which they are looking for a buyer. The money they get from selling the 49% stake will be distributed between the first-class counties, Marylebone Cricket Club and the recreational game. “The most important thing is whether we find the right partners. If it takes a little while, that’s fine. We’ve been running for four years and so, if in this first round, we find that either the values are not there for one or all the teams, or the right partner is not there for one or all the teams, that’s fine. We’ll just keep running it, we’ll do another year. My priority is to get the right partners and make them amazing and help us grow,” Banerjee told the Business of Sport podcast. I think it is possible: Vikram Banerjee Vikram Banerjee further said, ‘If we do not find the right partner, for example for London Spirit, then we will hold it and work with MCC for another year and then try it next year. I think it is possible. We want to completely confirm this deal in the next 6 months.’ Meanwhile, in August, The Telegraph reported that GMR Group, the co-owners of Delhi Capitals, agreed a £120 million deal to buy Hampshire, which will also see them own 51% of Southern Brave. However, this has not been made official yet. According to the report, the ECB has held extensive discussions with foreign investors. Apart from GMR Group, Sun Group, which owns Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, is currently in talks with the owner of Northern Superchargers.
