I think this is what the ECB hopes happens with The Hundred. They can keep making money while someone else foots the wage bills.

So 3 teams now owned by IPL franchise owners correct? KKR -> TKR, PK -> SLK and now Barbados. Interesting! I can see these three franchise putting in money in USA cricket as well with Shahrukh(KKR) already investing in Major League T20 competition.

Both teams are owned by the same owner. Just like KKR & TKR

Yeah, I figured. Not to dissimilar to how Quetta Gladiators bought a team in the LPL and named them Galle Gladiators with the EXACT same logo and Galle instead of Quetta.

I see why they do that, but it makes it look so unoriginal it's not even funny. Also, getting rid of names like Red Steel, Tridents and Zouks also made me mad because they had a very original and a very Caribbean feel to them. This is just another case of corporate ruining things.

Shame on their designers. Any beginner in PS can edit this. PK need to report this to CPL management.

If that's shame-worthy, then what about adding a single red streak in the KKR logo and making it TKR's identity?

Wahab dishing out the pies today. 233 of 19 overs so far. Good lord.

Similar to how IPL used to get telecast on Sony Max and stream digitally on Hotstar couple of years back.

BTW Fancode is a sister concern of Dream11

Edit - Pretty sure Smit Patel also played, so Rayudu would be third Indian.

Hol’ up, what happened to his cooling off period or whatever that was called?

Guess he's hoping that not playing next year might count towards the year?

 

[pillowprocter]

Isn't there a restriction of trade law against the cooling off period? Retiring means freeing yourself from the influence of BCCI, they shouldn't be able to influence the cricket you play post-retirement. I guess a players association like Aus or Eng would help with that.
