Fidel Edwards and Imran Farhat metamorphosed into one person due to an accidental on-field collision during the last West Indies Vs Pakistan series ?

[Roni_uk]

Oh wow.... Brilliant. Thank you Sri Lanka.
Wait.. Is this confirmed team or are they going thr' auction now?

[Equinox]

Tough for Ash. Poor guy must've thought he was a shoe-in. Do the owners of Nagenahira have some Bengali connection? Mushy, Nasir and Sunny all in the same team.

[Roni_uk]

Ps: love the team names... Better than our BPL team names... Basnihara is quite catchy

Translation in Bangla: Basnihara : Harle khobor ase (Baash dibo)

[Kohli_Sox]

[Maysun]

Four foreign players would be allowed to play in one match and a highest of six players could be purchased by one franchise I believe.

four foreigners can play.

All these leagues and Champions league will only be followed extensively if one player is associated with one Franchise only and not multiple franchise. Than there would be fan following and Champions league will also be much more competetive. Right now the system is totally flawed.

I prefer the present system. Imagine if gayle played in only IPL. And if its the type of system you want then we will end up seeing all the players opting for IPL only and none left for other leagues.

And no1 gives a damn abt CLT20. Its just a place for IPL teams to practice and for other teams to give a chance for the players in some of the other teams to impress in order to get a contract

I don't prefer the present system. Players jumping from one league to another and slowly they lose their exclusivity. Football season run concurrently but just imagine Messi playing for Barcelona, Boca Juniors and Man U. Yes we would love to see more of Messi but in the process he will lose his enigma. Now look at Gayle, who is the best T20 player, playing in IPL, Big Bash, BPL, SA League and now SLPL. I lose interest like this.

[PoorFan]

SLPL players list looks better than BPL.
