Well, it is getting monotonous with IPL, BPL et al. Just like every leagues one cannot be bothered by nameless local lads. So from Sri Lanka's perspective it may be a different story as they will be concerned how they are being groomed. (But we felt BPL's success in Asia Cup).
As far as crowd and ratings is concerned, the thing is there were no interesting events but Mahela's 96 sort of piqued some interest. At the end, the nature of the game dictates success or failure.
I'd much rather follow SilPil than U-19 games or even Tests. And yes, it's because of BD players.
