5 Dark secrets of the IPL we aren't aware of
Are the authorities striving hard for a change? Well, that's a question that remains rhetorically answered but the implications of it are yet to be palpable.
3. Commercialization vs development of local talents
The Indian Premier League was said to bring in more chances to Indian uncapped cricketers to play alongside great foreign talents, but as it turned out, team managements have been more keep on picking sides that can win the tournament rather than giving more opportunities to youngsters who have been warming on the bench for years.
Ricky Bhui, one of the fine talents from Andhra, has played less than five matches in the last four seasons he spent with Sunrisers Hyderabad and almost similar is the case with former U19 World Cup winner Baba Aparajith. They do take the paychecks home, but the number of young talents not even getting a game every year is concerning.
It has become pivotal for these sides to not end up on the losing side and experimenting with young talents has become risky. This is definitely not helping them and the whole purpose of the tournament, but we do keep seeing an odd name coming out and taking the limelight.
