BCCI and India are NOT serious about T20Is

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Needless to state IPL has contributed a lot to the game. But BCCI/Indians seem to understand that T20 is a good format for Entertainment.. They do not seem very serious when it comes to T20 internationals.

Proof: Relatively lesser number of T20i played by India compared to ODIs and Test matches.

Its great according to me since T20 style is not the classical style of cricket. And can mess with players technique.


What say?

Team India cares only T20i WC matches all others are fillers to find best team and some experience !

 

[Brodipet_baadshah]

Noo t20 wc in near future..hence I believe there is no need of any spl focus on t20 matches..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Has been the case since 2006/07. Even IPL was a hasty reaction to the ICL and to eliminate the threat to BCCI's monopoly over cricket in India. I don't think anyone expected it to be as big a success as it turned out to be. They've always given ODI's and Tests much more importance.

Pretty much this.

 

[English August]

It's more nuanced than that. India cares about T20, but only for IPL. Even T20 WC doesn't invoke as much interest as 50-50 WC.

 

[Varun]

To be fair none of the other full-tier teams care about T20s either.

The rankings especially are a farce.

In my view , Pakistan and West Indies are the only teams who care about T20i

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nobody gives a damn about T20I except during WT20. It is designed for franchise cricket. Has been working flawlessly for 11 years in the IPL.

 

[big_gamer007]

T20 WC is the only thing that matters tbh internationals are just for fun.. BCCI has got its priorities correct this time.

 

[Proactive_]

I wish it was that way but your statement is grossly inaccurate OP. Don't you remember the T20 fest we had in 2016?

T20 in Aus
T20 vs SL
Asia Cup T20
World T 20
IPL

all in one go. If it were to me, I'd keep this T20 garbage out of international calendar altogether. Keep it in the leagues where guys like Unadkat and Rajat Bhatia are legends. No need to contaminate the international calendar even further with more T20.

yes that was because India were preparing for T20 WC(2016) at that time.After 2019 WC,You'd see focus of teams like India,Australia etc shifting towards T20 matches as next T20 WC would be in 2020.

Wheather we like India or not, we have to give credit to them for improving there domestic structure. IPL is just for entertainment and financial gain. It's India's domestic structure which has allowed the national side to prosper. I would rather have a strong first class structure and have good facilities at grass roots level. Than have the PSL. PSL doesn't make cricketers it just gives them the opportunity to shine. Also would love to have a selector who watches domestic cricket and isn't biased towards certain players.

 

[DeadBall]

Just like how PCB and Pakistan don't seem to be that much interested in the LOIs. Everyone is focusing on what they're good at.

T20 *is* LOI.

BCCI is very interested in T20s, just not international T20s. They do not yield enough advertorial opportunities for broadcasters and undercut the appetite for IPL as well, hence the rationing.

Yeah, my bad. I just meant T20s. We just seem to be the best in the format that requires the least amount of skill, brain or temperament. Thank You Afridi.

You are giving too much credit to India's clueless administrators. IPL's success is extraordinarily accidental, underwritten by the 2007 T20 success. BCCI mandarins simply did not have the vision to conceive, conceptualize, or implement such a league without being threatened by something like the ICL. Do not for a moment think that BCCI would care for tests or even the ODIs for a single day once IPL establishes itself as a self-sustaining financial monster.

 

[cricketworm]

First people (english media, so called elite indian media) said BCCI is not interested in Test.

*india becomes no 1 test team*

then they said 'ODIs are dead'

*india becomes no 1 ODI team*

now They (you) said India doesn't care about T20i

*India is No 3, and will be no 2 behind two points from pakistan*

Pakistan are far from being the best in T20s. I do not have to tell you that ICC's T20 rankings are a lot more lopsided and unreliable than the other two formats. Pakistan are not doubt among the best and able to hold their own, but far from being undisputed number 1.

I never said that we are amongst the best, but just good at it. Please re-read.

 

[austerlitz]

Good.T20 is for entertainment only.Only t20 wc matters a bit.

These all ifs and buts. Fact is there domestic system and grass roots cricket is improving whilst ours shows no signs of improving. They are now starting to produce some quick bowlers,we can't even produce a batsmen who can bat at a modern way.

 

[Ab Fan]

Well, nobody is serious about t20s.

 

[jaf348]

In my view , Pakistan and West Indies are the only teams who care about T20i

West Indies don't really take T20 seriously either; they just happen to be suited to the format for various reasons. Did you see Gayle dancing with the Afghan players after losing to Afghanistan in the last World T20 after losing by 6 runs?

Imagine the uproar if or were to do the same even in a dead rubber game.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

OP is right because if BCCI was serious about T20's they would have organised IPL thrice a year.

hahaahhaha

India desperately wana win another world t20. YOu have to be blind not to have noticed the hype when they got to the final again and then the media ripped into them so bad it was hilarious. I've never sen the media in any other country respond to cricket in such a way, and you claim its not a big deal?

Oh and you're point about playing less t20 cricket is ridiculous, every country plays more tests and ODIs.

I know this is an excuse for why the riches tt20 side, with the richest t20 league cant do as well as Pakistan but youll have to try harder.

It doesn't occur to you that the revenues brought in by the PSL can be used by the PCB to build up facilities and promote grass-root level cricket? This is exactly what BCCI has done with all those IPL millions and the results are showing.

Well put. I have never seen more than 1 or 2 matches per IPL. But I still understand it’s importance.

Salaries of Ranji cricketers has more than doubled in the last 10 years, since the IPL started. The structure has improved so much due to the money coming in. A ranji regular will earn about 12 lacs a year (no IPL), which IMHO is still less. But still not bad give where we were 10 years back.

It's been 3 years and had our domestic system improved? Also [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] has made references many times that the profit of PSL is going to the PCB management and not to the domestic and grassroots level.

NZ WI Pakistan really care about T20s

Most other teams dont

Because all 3 teams are good in T20 format compared to other 2 (ODI & Test)!

 

[hur rizvi]

Because BCCI and India are wise
