4 crores each for 15 stars; Seeing many things in front of them, they look down on the Aussie stars; Target is not retail
Cricket Australia faces huge threat from UAE T20 League The UAE T20 League has come to the fore after Australia’s own franchise league, the Big Bash League (BBL).
The Age reports that the UAE T20 league has offered 15 Aussies Rs 4 crore each (up to) to play in their franchise league instead of playing in the BBL.
Currently, only Aussie superstar David Warner has volunteered to play in the UAE T-20. But this list is likely to get longer in the coming days.
Schedules of BBL and UAE T20 League are likely to clash. Taking this into account, reports say that the ‘new enemy’ of the BBL is buying the Aussie players.
Not only the BBL, but Bangladesh’s franchise league, the BPL, is also likely to have work to do in terms of schedule.
The UAE T20 league rewards players much more than what the BBL offers.
This has brought the Australian Cricket Board to a serious crisis. Cricket Australia will have to fight hard to convince players to play in the BBL instead of the UAE T20 league.
Superstar Chris Lynn also said that he wants to play in the UAE. But the player is currently in talks with Adelaide Strikers.
Cricket Australia is also trying to keep Warner in the BBL. CA has decided to offer more money to the star. But this decision has caused grumbling among other actors.
