Says here

From the story

The Indian cricket board's official Twenty20 League (IPL) has secured a 10-year rights contract worth more than $1 billion ahead of its launch in April, organisers said on Monday.
Sony Entertainment, a division of Japan's [Images] Sony Corp., and the Asia-based World Sports Group (WSG) are behind the deal.

Yeah. Once the current crop of Legends are gone, India won't even have a team that people will want to see, let alone one that can even win matches at home. I am not sure we will have a half decent test team and a one day team 4 years down the line, so will pay so much to watch also rans in T20?

Possibly, who knows. At least there'll be that Twenty20 'Champions League', I'd get up early/stay up to watch that.

S'hardly the least feasible Northants could do. Alls ye have ta do is win the T20. We're perennial QFists - that's one win away from final's day. Then anything can happen. Besides which, with half a dozen decent Saffies, well....

I thought all of the top players were playing in the IPL? Certainly all of the top Aussies, Saffies, and Lankans are turning out.

You have to admit they can make money.

And I don't think they've hired Harvey JGK.
