[VIDEOS] PSL should go head to head with IPL

No worries cricket is already a dying sport in England, look at no. Of counties they are in losses
 
The Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) is contemplating a legal challenge following the England & Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) ban on players participating in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and other franchise leagues that coincide with the domestic summer.

Daryl Mitchell, PCA's interim chief executive, expressed frustration over the lack of consultation prior to the policy's announcement. The ECB's new directive aims to retain domestic talent during the summer, particularly as the PSL is set for April next year, overlapping with other domestic competitions. Players are upset, fearing this could significantly impact their earning potential during the home season.

A notable player agent has indicated that the ECB's new policy may face legal challenges. "Legally, I believe it could be contested," the agent remarked, warning that this approach might prompt players to retire from red-ball cricket earlier than expected. "This will likely counteract their intentions. For an England player exiting a central contract, why would they commit to a full county deal that could affect their earnings in leagues like the PSL?" In 2024, over 20 significant short-format franchise competitions are scheduled, with numbers expected to rise further in subsequent years.
 
This is because PCB made a dumb move of hosting PSL at the same time as IPL. They thought by doing so they will jeopardise the daddy league. But little did they know, IPL gets played when county cricket starts. So it was only natural that ECB will protect its players from playing in franchise cricket before start of a fresh season. Had they kept the PSL in normal window of February, this situation would not have arisen.
 
What exactly is the case here? ECB said it’s contracted players not to play PSL. PSL franchises and PCB have no financial agreement or contract with those players?
The ECB can't stop people plying their trade. Let's see how ECB justify this in court, if the challenge comes

Inds are worried about the PSL. Why?
 
Did they look at only the schedule of IPL before coming up with this? ENglish domestic season always starts in April and through September. Windies also has some assignments in May.

Of course the ECB can tell players they have to play the games they've been contracted to play, there's no chance this even reaches court.

That would be between the player and ECB then, nothing to do with PSL or PCB. If an English player is desperate to play PSL he will discuss that with ECB, negotiate, sue or whatever. Unless he takes money from PSL/ PCB and refuses to play citing this rule, it is a different matter other wise nothing PCB or PSL can do about it.

I don’t understand why Indians think everything is done to damage them.
Due to IPL, most international cricket stops and best players are in IPL, which would allow the remaining international players to be available and feature in the PSL. PSL is trying to take IPl scraps here basically. For example Warner has never played in PSL, but now that he’s not been picked in IPl, he’s available for PSL which helps the brand.

Warner may join the commentary team. Steve smith did commentary last time. Usually the get around 250 to 500,000 USD for commentary stint.

Salary of Commentators in IPL 2024

Dugout Panel: $520,000 to $750,000
English Panel: $252,000 to $550,000
Hindi Panel: $82,000 to $370,000
Regional Panel: $82,000-1,55,000

How many commentators does IPL need? They cannot offer every unpicked high profile foreign player a commentary stint.

I don’t understand what your point is?
I was sharing the reason why Pakistan has scheduled PSL to go with IPL. Warner was just an example.
You’re trying to show how big IPL commentary salary is so he will go there.
We get it BCCI, indian cricket, IPL is big. Get over yourself buddy and have some grace.

Yes. That is how they landed Smith. Warner is doing commentary now for FOX. So there is a chance he could be hired.
 
PSL is not as big a brand as IPL is but ECB's decision makes no sense. They were ok for IPL but no for PSL... Maybe they were threatened that if they go to PSL, they will not get picked in IPL next time.
 
So what next for PSL as another competitor arrives in the horizon in shape of Nepal Premier league.

Due to IPL the top draws not available even second tier remain on standby for IPL. ECB already barring its players.

Add to it the scheduling issues, Naqvi is in for another bumpy ride
 
This will be a very interesting couple of months ahead. English players not playing the IPL will complain about being forced to play domestic when they can easily make more money in PSL.
 
England players threaten legal action over ECB’s new policy on NOCs

England players have threatened legal action against England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) over its new policy on issuing No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) for international leagues.

The players have expressed their dismay over the new policy which imposed a ban on England players from participating in franchise leagues except for the Indian Premier League (IPL) which clashes with the domestic season.

Reports said that the new policy on the NOCs will also dent England cricketers’ participation in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL).

As per England media outlets, the players’ agents were of the view that the ECB did not want to upset the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and allowed players to participate only in the IPL.


The hypocrisy of ECB will be exposed

BCCI pays ECB a amount which is equal to 20 per cent of the total money ECB players get.

If the total salary received by English players is 10mn USD, ECB will receive $2mn.

PCB can try a similar arrangement.

But how will ECB justify making IPL an exception?

Worth mentioning that all leagues in the world already pay at least 10%.
