Sanjay Manjrekar Opines About IPL Having 10 Teams

While the 14th edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) got suspended due to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases inside bio-bubbles, the league might introduce two new teams from the next edition. However, former India player turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar feels that if this development takes place then an additional overseas player in the playing XI should be allowed. Currently 7 Indian players and only 4 overseas players are allowed to play in the playing eleven of a game as the objective of promoting and giving chance more to Indian talents can be shown as well.

  1. Sanjay Manjrekar Opines About IPL Having 10 Teams While the 14th edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) got suspended due to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases inside bio-bubbles, the league might introduce two new teams from the next edition. However, former India player turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar feels that if this development takes place then an additional overseas player in the playing XI should be allowed. Currently 7 Indian players and only 4 overseas players are allowed to play in the playing eleven of a game as the objective of promoting and giving chance more to Indian talents can be shown as well. He further added that if the IPL is being expanded from 8 to 10 teams then the number of overseas players in the playing XI should be increased from 4 to 5 as well. Manjrekar also shared that the addition of a foreign player in the playing XI wouldn’t harm the opportunities for Indian talent to showcase their talent in the league as well. “When there was no IPL, T20, or 50-over cricket, only 13-14 players in the 70s or 80s played at the highest level and that’s where you got the cream of Indian players playing. You already have plenty of Indian players and it is a shame to see some quality foreign players sitting out only because they can’t play more than four. So even if we go five foreign players, plenty of Indian players will get the opportunity,” said Manjrekar. Image Source by twitter

He also believes if it becomes five in overseas quota, six players per XI from the Indian circuit can be added and it will also be a majority even then as well. “I don’t think it will add pressure that organizers feel that this is an Indian Premier League and got to have more and more Indian players and less foreign players. 60 is plenty,” he concluded.
