Indians can play T20 league in Australia

MELBOURNE: India will have no objection if its star players take part in a proposed IPL-style Twenty20 league in Australia from next year.

Cricket Australia has plans to start a high-profile Twenty20 League of its own and has approached the BCCI to allow its players for the event.

IPL Commissioner and BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi, who is closely watching the developments on this front, said he had already cleared the top Indian cricketers to play for Australian state teams if they wanted to.

“We are keenly watching that and are most supportive of that. The Australian cricket board has been most supportive of the Indian cricket board,” Modi was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun on Friday. “They have asked us already if we would release our players for that and we said yes.” — PTI
