Despite the fact IPL owners make up half of the new investors in the Hundred, the ECB does not expect India's male cricketers to be made available for the tournament, nor does it anticipate issues with players from Pakistan taking part in England's flagship competition.
The article from MSN discusses the potential impact of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Pakistani cricket players' involvement in international cricket. It highlights that despite numerous Pakistani players being linked with IPL teams, their participation remains uncertain due to political tensions between India and Pakistan. The article mentions that former Pakistan captain Salman Butt believes that the IPL's allure could influence Pakistani players' decisions regarding their international careers, especially with the lucrative offers from the IPL. However, the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) has not officially allowed its players to participate in the IPL due to these geopolitical issues. The piece also touches on the broader implications for cricket, suggesting that the IPL's global influence might push players towards prioritizing T20 leagues over national duties, although no concrete decisions or changes have been confirmed regarding Pakistani players' IPL participation.
