Is it right to ask for a seperate season from ICC? Because this is purely entertainment form of cricket. BCCI had asked ICC to give a seperate schedule now. But ODI and test matches are very important and they are very professionalised forms of cricket. I think they should not affected by IPL. What do you say?

The South African Cricket Board has also asked for a seperate time. Considering it's only 6 weeks, I think it should be feasable. Mind you, it would be begrudged.

Well u said ODIs & Tests are professionalized form of cricket. So with so much money involved & future of many at stake , do u think IPL or for that matter T20 is not professionalized???? Also with players & professionals from all over the world are part of IPL & it is getting a huge response globally ,so BCCI is truly professional & right to ask for a seperate schedule of IPL in world cricket

I think it is right to ask for a sepreat season from ICC, afterall IPL take responsibilities to give entertain the cricket lovers and I don't think that T20 tournament is not professionalised. Because all the big players play in tournament and earn lot of money, so why this tournament is not professionlised ? All cricket board in various countries like this patterens and they want this tournament own country.

Well now Cricket is not playing with old spirit. Now this is the game of money and fame and I dont think that ICC will able to refuse it. More important this kind of format is applicable in every big games and certainly should come into Cricket. Mind it BCCI is the most richest board of world and he is ruling rite now.
