Once again, international cricket is in trouble due to the impact of the IPL. New Zealand is not getting regular cricketers in the ODI XI against Sri Lanka due to the invasion of franchise cricket. NZC has been forced to release six cricketers from the XI. Tom Latham has been made captain of this series. International cricket clashing with franchise cricket is now a regular occurrence.

Almost every country now has a T20 league! As a result, international cricket is often in trouble. England did not get several of their best players in the recently concluded series against Bangladesh. Jason Roy withdrew his name from the T20 squad to play in the PSL. And Alex Hales did not come in the whole series. However, a bigger franchise than PSL, IL T20, and IPL is coming. The list of people who don’t care about their country’s game to play in the world’s biggest franchise league is growing day by day. The Kiwis were in similar danger in their series against Bangladesh last time. This incident happened in the Lanka series.

The Blackcaps will be without several regulars for the ODI series against Sri Lanka on home soil. Tim Southee, Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, and Mitchell Santner have been withdrawn from the squad due to their contracts with IPL teams. And Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson, and Glenn Phillips will play only in the first ODI of the series. After that, they will also fly to India. This year’s IPL will start on March 31.

Bangladesh may also face such a problem. Because IPL is starting during the T20 series against Ireland in Chittagong. And two Bangladeshi cricketers Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das have a contract with Kolkata Knight Riders. And Mustafizur Rahman is scheduled to play for Delhi Capitals. In that case, there are concerns about the performance of these three in the series against the Irish.
