BCCI Plans to Introduce IPL-like New League in T10 Format in 2024: Report

BCCI is reportedly considering the introduction of a T10 format cricket league, aiming for a launch window between September and October 2024.

Cricket in India is on the brink of another revolution as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) contemplates the launch of a T10 format cricket league, potentially debuting between September and October 2024. This strategic move comes against the backdrop of the soaring success of cricket leagues worldwide, particularly the Indian Premier League (IPL), which recently achieved a remarkable valuation of around $10.7 billion.

Under the stewardship of BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, the blueprint for this envisioned T10 league is in its early planning stages. Despite being in the nascent phase, the proposal has garnered favorable responses from stakeholders and potential sponsors. The strategic choice of a T10 format is anticipated to play a pivotal role in further amplifying the sport’s popularity in the cricket-crazy nation.

Key Considerations in the Planning Process

Global Expansion and Financial Backing

Recent reports indicate Saudi Arabia’s interest in a substantial investment in the IPL, exploring the injection of up to $5 billion into the league. This prospective move could play a pivotal role in the league’s expansion to other nations, mirroring the global success of football leagues like the English Premier League or the European Champions League.

T10 vs T20 Format

The BCCI confronts a critical decision in choosing between the T10 and T20 formats for the proposed league. While the report indicates a strategic inclination towards T10, stakeholders may engage in discussions about whether this move will enhance or potentially dilute the cricketing experience.

Financial Implications

While cricket boards globally grapple with limited earnings from bilateral series, the proposed T10 league offers potential financial benefits and revenue-sharing models that could contribute to their financial stability. However, concerns persist about the potential impact on the traditional 50-over format, raising questions on the essence of the sport.

Venue Selection

The choice between a fixed venue or a new venue every year is another significant decision in the planning process. Factors such as fan engagement, logistical ease, and potential revenue streams will influence whether the proposed tournament should be played in India or explore different locations annually.

Age Cap for Players

To prevent overshadowing the popularity of the IPL, discussions about implementing an age cap for players are underway. Striking the right balance between emerging talents and experienced players will be pivotal to maintaining the league’s appeal without adversely affecting the IPL.

Franchise Ownership

Determining whether franchises for the new league should be sold through a separate tender process or if existing IPL franchises should be given the right of first refusal is another crucial decision. This choice will significantly impact the league’s ownership structure and financial dynamics.
