BCCI: BCCI and ECB give a blow to Saudi T20 League, decide not to support the project..

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have dealt a blow to the Saudi T20 League and decided not to support the project. The boards of these two countries have joined hands to stop the Saudi T20 League. This means that both these countries will not give NOC to their players to join the Saudi T20 League. It is being told that an investment of $ 400 million (about Rs 3442 crore) will be made in the Saudi T20 League.

Will oppose Saudi T20 League

News agency PTI quoted a report by British newspaper The Guardian that during the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) played at Lord's this month, the ECB and BCCI agreed to unite to oppose the new league. Both the boards agreed that they would not issue No Objection Certificates (NOC) to their players to join the new competition. Both the boards will also lobby the ICC to stop their support.

Cricket Australia showed interest.

On the other hand, Cricket Australia appeared keen to partner with Saudi investors in the league. According to this report, according to the plan revealed from Australia, Saudi Arabia's SRJ Sports Investments has promised to invest $ 400 million to establish the new league. In this, eight teams will play four tournaments at different venues every year, which is being compared to the Grand Slams of tennis. CA's main objective is to make a profit from the private investors as the Big Bash League (BBL) franchises are owned by the governing body and the states.

Will the ICC President go against BCCI?

The report also claims that the ICC is currently being run by former BCCI secretary Jay Shah, so he is unlikely to go against the wishes of the BCCI in this matter.
