http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bridges-c48628 gaps between players and brings them closer
The retired Australian spinner, Shane Warne, considers the Indian Premier League (IPL) an ideal platform that can bridge gaps among players of different nations, bringing them closer.
The former Australian vice captain had been leading the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL since 2008. He winded up his professional cricket career with yesterday’s game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians.
Warne, who has been making the headlines recently for his disputes and statements, said earlier that the IPL has the potential to remove differences and rivalries among cricketers.
He has also suggested all the cricketing nations to send their players in the IPL race.
Warne says, “I really believe the tournament is good for cricket. It breaks down the barriers between the players when you get to line up alongside people from other countries. Although the downside is that nobody seems to sledge any more.”
It has already been debated on many forums, whether the IPL is the best place to create intercultural harmony. The ten franchises of the league hire players from different nations and regions of the world to play together.
IPL pits a multicultural side against another, bringing teammates together in a joint cause, working with each other for the same goals.
The bridging role played by the IPL is complimented by the financial gains. The money brings them to the game and the game brings them closer.
Warne, despite his dispute with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 management, considers his IPL experience to be a pleasant and memorable one. The legend is proud to have played some good cricket in the four editions of the league.
According to some analysts, Warne would have played more IPL seasons, was it not for his row with the secretary of Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sanjay-c88566 Dixit.
Warne led Rajasthan to claim the title of the League’s inaugural season, however, this edition did not see the side go all the way.
The legendary cricketer now wants to come back in a consultancy role for the IPL.
