Manchester United owners confirm interest in WIPL

The owners of the Manchester United team, who had tried their hand at an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, confirmed interest in the Women’s IPL. In conversation with Cricbuzz, on the sidelines of ILT20 in Dubai, where they own the Desert Vipers team, a representative for the owners said the Avaram Glazer is seriously looking at the WIPL.

“Having bought into the ILT20, it is natural for us to look into other cricket opportunities around the world, including Women’s IPL,” Phil Oliver, the CEO of Desert Vipers, told this website on Friday (January 13). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), as first reported by Cricbuzz, will conduct the auction for the WIPL franchises on January 25.

He, however, has refused to reveal if they have bought the Invitation To Tender (ITT) document, a prerequisite for purchasing a side. “I can’t reveal the details of how far we are in that process but I am happy to say that we are looking into all opportunities, including the WIPL. The Indian market is of interest to us. A lot of Indian cricket fans will be watching this tournament and will see what the Desert Vipers will bring to that. If anything, we want to bring an exciting brand of cricket to the Indian fans, just as to our fans all around the world,” Oliver said. The ITT will be available for purchase till January 21.

It is understood that since the BCCI launched the WIPL franchise ITT recently, it has created a lot of buzz in the Indian and overseas markets. Over 20 parties, including most of the existing IPL franchises and those who have missed out on buying an IPL side in 2021, are believed to have taken the ITT and there could be serious jostling among the bidders.

The Glazer family was one of the bidders for the two new IPL teams which eventually went to Sanjiv Goenka (Lucknow Super Giants) and CVC Capital (Gujarat Titans). Avram Glazer, represented by Lancer Capital, had placed bids worth Rs 4125.65 crores for the Ahmedabad team and Rs 4023.99 crores for the Lucknow team.

Oliver strove to differentiate the involvement of Manchester United and Avaram Glazer in the involvement in cricket. “Just to draw the initial distinction, it was not Manchester United that was looking at an IPL team. The distinction is important. Avaram Glazer of Lancer Capital bid for an IPL team when it expanded last year. That company has bought a franchise in ILT20, Desert Viper, and Manchester United is not represented here,” he clarified.

Why Indian cricketers can’t play foreign T20 leagues

Rahul Dravid explains why Indian cricketers can’t play foreign T20 leagues

Since many of these competitions take place during India’s domestic season, Indian cricket coach Rahul Dravid said it is challenging to allow Indian players to participate in international T20 leagues.

The topic came up when Dravid was asked whether India would consider sending players to the Big Bash League (BBL) in the future. India’s players, who lack Big Bash League (BBL) experience in Australia compared to players from England who have plenty of it, were at a disadvantage during their semi-final setback.

There is no denying the fact that many of England’s players have traveled to this country to compete, Dravid said. “This tournament undoubtedly demonstrated it. It’s tough. I think it’s very difficult for Indian cricket because a lot of these tournaments happen right in the peak of our season.”

Dravid mentioned how difficult it is for the men in blue. Yes, I believe that many of our boys may miss out on the chance to play in many of these leagues, but if you were to… it would really be up to the BCCI to decide.

The BBL takes place in the middle of the Indian domestic season, he added, so if all Indian players were allowed to compete in these events, India would not have a domestic cricket tournament. “Our domestic first-class trophy, the Ranji Trophy, would be over, and with it, the end of Test cricket,”

“I know a lot of people talk about it, but we need to be very careful and understand the difficulties that either Indian cricket or the BCCI would encounter in such a circumstance. You would observe all of our boys—indeed, a lot of boys—being asked to participate in leagues in the midst of our season “He went on.

“We have seen the damage that has been done to West Indian cricket as a result, and I would definitely not want Indian cricket to follow the same path. It would undoubtedly have an impact on the Ranji Trophy and Test cricket. I believe that Indian boys playing Test cricket is very important for the Test game as well “said Dravid.

Participating in international T20 tournaments has proven to be a divisive issue in Indian cricket. The bigger worry is that more players may decide to forego first-class cricket, undermining the system that has produced a strong Test team, even if the BCCI limits participation in these T20 leagues to those without aspirations of playing the sport.

Although other clubs also face this problem, the demand for Indian players would be much higher from a commercial perspective.
