It is reported that the CPL 2018 player auction will be held in England. I would like to know if and when was the IPL player auction not ever held in India.

Please discuss

Why? It's not like any English players will be taking part, because it clashes with the county season. These matches are also played too late in the night to get good viewing figures in the UK.

Seems pointless to me....

Just another sign that the future of CPL is likely going to be outside the Caribbean, frankly.

CPL outside of the Caribbean is not CPL

the Caribbean is a dream vacation for cricket fans. CPL has lots of potential

I hope so, but between the ownership issues, issues with the franchises losing money, rumours that future matches were going to be played in UAE, I fear the worst.

The Caribbean too unsafe for the boys?
Choke and rob, shooting, kidnapping, WICB and other dangerous elements abound.

Why is the ownership changing hands so often? Is it demand or are the franchises being dropped like a hot potato?
