Thanks for the reminder. Been keen to follow up since the early discussions 4 months ago. Interesting that this is happening at the same time that the US has been stripped of its co-host rights with the WI for the 2024 T20 WC.

I’m keen to see Pak players being bought.
They can’t play IPL but they need to be given opportunities elsewhere

With the Indian owners it’s not happening enough

From the bit of reading I did following doosra posting the link, tonight's draft might see them try to get the US-based players rostered. Nine of them I recall. The "big" names are going to be filled in subsequently.

I'm with you on the PAK player involvement. This year's just completed PSL should have a few of the international names in focus. Mind you the MLC has a very weighted Indian involvement and politics is never far away from their money!

I see MI has already bought out the NY franchise!!!

That's more than SA T20 paid most guys. Seems the internationals will get a darn good package. Given that WI guys engaging India in July they could miss out!

As Nikkail said, seems to be the poster boy for Knight Rider franchises.
