losing the opening Test at Lord’s by five wickets.
Former Indian cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bishan-Singh-Bedi-c48133, believes that the Indian Premier League will always be a money making entity rather than a platform for young players to make a name for themselves.
The former Men In Blue skipper feels that people who rave about the competition are mad, as the IPL is only a business proposition, and will never be his cup of tea.
The ongoing season 5 has been embroiled with various controversial issues, including spot-fixing and molestation offences. However, the league is widely considered as the most competitive T20 tournament in the world. Bedi however, is surely not a fan.
“Youngsters should not take it as a role model activity, but unfortunately, they will,” Bedi said, before adding, “This nonsense is all about money, money and more money. The base of the entire IPL is very, very fragile.”
The Sri Lankan Cricket Board has named two different squads for the team’s home assignment, T20 and 50-over formats, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
