The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will soon formulate a policy on allowing Indian players to participate in foreign leagues. This is expected to be discussed during the BCCI’s apex council meeting in Mumbai today.
It is learnt that a cooling period ranging from one to three years will be decided upon, for players who opt to play in foreign leagues. The cooling period regulation could come into force from next season.
Currently, there are several retired Indian players participating in various T-10 leagues, the UAE T20 and other leagues around the world. The growing popularity of T20 cricket has led to many players choosing these international leagues.
