5 Reasons why PSL is not meeting IPL standards

 4. World’s best coaches are a part of IPL

Coaches have become an integral part of every cricket team in the world. Be it an international side or a franchise playing a T20 league, coaches and mentors play an important role. Thus, all the top and leading men from the coaching circuit are a part of the IPL.

You name them and they are associated with some or the other team (unless they are associated with an international team which puts a limitation). Gary Kirsten, Tom Moody, Anil Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayewardene Ricky Ponting, Trevor Bayliss, John Wright, Jonty Rhodes, Allan Donald and many more are or have been a part of the IPL coaching set-up.

In fact, former players want to get associated and stay in touch with the IPL and hence, they take up roles of mentors and coaches. Take the case of Daniel Vettori a few years back when he couldn’t make it to the RCB XI. Or even Brendon McCullum who hung up his boots recently has joined the KKR as the head coach.

Moreover, where will you find the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayewardene, John Wright and Jonty Rhodes working together in the support staff? That simply underlines the quality and the standard of the IPL and why players prefer playing the IPL.
