Should Foreign Players be allowed to play in IPL?

Question

Thousands of Young Indian Talented Players are there in India, instead of that IPL members purchase foreign players.

Is this good.

Answer 1

If IPL is restricted to Indian players only, it wil;l become a domestic tournament and will not get any exposure at international level.  Hence revenue earning from IPL will be restricted.  Since foreign players are participating there is

wide publicity for the tournament at international level and they have huge amount by way of telecast rights.

Answer 2

they should play because their are many persons who come to watch just the big foreign stars of the game.And the players of India also learn many thing from those players.And also if only Indians would play then this would become only a event for Indian cricket not for internationals

Answer 3

Without them, you would have no IPL! Get over it.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Hi,

I completely agree to your point .. but youngsters will learn a lot from the Foreign Players especially Professionalism and the Passion for the Game

Cheers

Answer 6

the big name foreign players (such as hayden, gilchrist and warne) have been bringing big numbers to the games and watching them on tv, therefore bringing in big money as well, without the foreign players it would just be a domestic competition that outside of india no one would watch or care about, by bringing in international players, they are bringing in an international audience

also i think they have the right idea by making teams play under-19 players in them, what an opprtunity for a player in the under-19 squad to have the chance to bowl to a gilchrist or hayden or to bat againist warne and steyn, then to be able to learn from senior international teammates, my only beef is that unfortunately not every country in the test cricket world can have a competition like this so that their own junior players can get the same opportunity that indias under-19s are getting at the moment

Answer 7

Yes, In order to make this tournament world class It is essential to have some foreign players.

Answer 8

IPL is so much talked about bcoz of the foreign and indian players playing together as a team! If there would not have been any foreign player then i think IPL would just be like any other domestic series ,like Ranjhi cup! IPL is a superhit bcoz of its concept and world class players! Both Indian and foreign players are doing very well.....

Answer 9

Dear Ajain,

It seems from the statistics at least that it would be prudent to support an exactly opposite view.

Rehman of Multan

P.S; I do admit you have a point, but, then IPL would not interest international audience and bring in profits from International ads and endorsements.

Answer 10

They make the tournament, without them it would be a pointless exercise.

Answer 11

IPL did a good job by giving chance to not only the foreign player but also many Indians who are not familiar faces in cricket and we have founded some new talents. Giving chance to lot of non familiar face would have made IPL boring. It would be  domestic cricket and it would be not interesting as now it is.

Answer 12

yes good patriotic statement

no one to get gold medal in olympics

no bowler at 145 kmph

seems like mns statement

talent is not what u presume but what is visible

political statement are made in dark

Answer 13

The format of IPL is so good that it is bringing the players from round the world together where they are playing together. Cultures are mixing. This all will only help the game of cricket. Cricket is now no longer called as gentlemen's game because of the harassing, from IPL and the players coming closer this all will reduce in coming times when they play against each other too.

I hope yoy agree with me in the same.

Ganguly and ponting playing in the same team

Sehwag and MC Grath playing in the same team.

Unbelievale but this is the truth a very good truth.
