During the delay in the English team’s trip to Bangladesh, Tom Harrison, CEO of the England and Wales Cricket Board, noted that the extra playing time will benefit England players in the IPL.
The postponement of the Bangladesh tour has helped open the way for England players to be a part of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) when it returns to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in May.” English ODI cricket series vs. Bangladesh was pushed back to 2023 because it enabled the English cricketers to participate in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). When the Bangladesh tour is delayed, players will have the opportunity to promote themselves for the IPL, Harrison explained.
This winter and summer are likely to be busy, so players are going to have to manage their schedules.” These discussions are already in progress, but each decision will be taken on a case-by-case basis.
We are expecting to head to Pakistan for two T20I matches ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup to be played there.” It is the first occasion since 2004 that England will have been to Pakistan.
Strategically, it is quite important for us, and for the sake of teams going back to Pakistan, we are absolutely committed to supporting a fellow member of the ICC.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) made it clear on Tuesday that it intends to make a push for cricket’s inclusion in the Olympic Games in the future, starting preparations for a possible bid that would include the sport for the city of Los Angeles in the years leading up to the city’s plan to hold the games in 2028.
The ICC said that a working group is in place to lead the proposal.
Personally, I have been trying to press for this for quite some time. Cricket is presented with a huge potential to continue to grow. To the regulating organizations of various sports, I believe the responsibility is to continue to expand and to defend the sport.
A fascinating opportunity lies ahead for cricket to extend beyond its traditional value systems. Cricket’s only flaw is that we haven’t yet taken the game to new markets.
I have expressed this previously, but I will say it again: the beauty of cricket is found in the game itself. In my opinion, it is one of the most powerful sports in the world and also an outstanding force for good. If we can package the game in a way that’s compelling to players, people will flock to it.
We only have to give new nations a sense of belonging, and the game will take care of the rest. Concerning the ICC, he said, “I think it will come to the point that it will need to establish a format.”
