And if most of these players play in the PSL, i’d be ecstatic
I don’t think all of them would turn up since the reason Hazlewood went unsold was because he wanted to be with his wife for the birth of his child missing the majority of the season and Billings didn’t sign up for the auction. Likewise Jamieson is injured again and so is Milne. However I do agree, there’s enough talent out there to have quality cricket. The worry would be a lack of ability to retain players that perform well like you mentioned with Brook or David. Anyone who has a standout season is likely to get an IPL deal and you’re back to finding another up and coming player or take a punt on one of the IPL flops that couldn’t hack it there.
Ramadan is the bigger factor on why I think it would be a good move. I’m not sure how big the PSL currently is domestically as a cultural thing but if they can make it significant (if it already isn’t) then having a strong domestic audience would mitigate the lack of an overseas fanbase. The best solution IMO would be to keep the PSL at six teams whilst establishing themselves in the new window, start the league a week earlier than the IPL so as to draw in a few extra eyeballs and retain them by a set of exciting games and have all teams play at their home grounds.
The last point, BCCI banning PSL players from IPL, is somewhat realistic in the case of political turbulence. It was discussed before.
It was a rumour that never came to pass. I think it’s extremely unlikely to happen and would be shooting themselves in the foot which makes it even less likely to happen.
For me if Sunil Narine don't get picked for world cup it will be a travesty for west indies cricket
Unless you’re one of the Kolkata fans on r/cricket that keep defending him to death, it should be obvious that the bloke chucks on a consistent basis and would be subjected to a lot more scrutiny at the international level.
In any case it’s not the WICB that refuses to pick him, it’s Narine choosing to stay away knowing that he will be called for it.
