IPL can save cricket financially

The most lucrative cricket league in the world, the Indian Premier League (IPL), can save world cricket during the financial crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. So says former International Cricket Council (ICC) committee member and former president of Cricket West Indies (CWI) Dave Cameron.

The Jamaican businessman said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) can play a major role in supporting other cricket boards to ensure that they continue supplying top quality players for its Twenty20 (T20) tournament.

Cameron said: "The cricket world has been affected financially as has most things. The ICC is not certain to host the World T20 in October in Australia where they can rake in some substantial money. It is possible that their subventions to the national cricket boards, could be decreased. This can cause problems for the less wealthy cricket boards that really depends on the finances from the ruling body.
