There was a time when Indian Cricket players used to play in many tournaments around the world when series was not there. Nowadays BCCI is very strict with their exclusive contracts with their marketing partners and will not allow players to play anywhere else where they might be representing other advertisers or TV channels. This happened after 1998 Commonwealth Games controversy and after that BCCI becae strict with that. ofcourse they had superstars Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid, Sehwag, Dhoni and they can do whatever they can to encash them. Now the marketing revenue has gone down, so is TRP ratings and our players are not that hot property in arketing world. Maybe its time that BCCI allow our players to play around the world in different leagues and again build a huge brand value.
Probably the way to go as the players can establish themselves abroad by dominating the other leagues. They are certainly failing to do that with the national team.
The news which I will be sharing is an sporting achievement in my opinion and is nearly 2 months old but our stupid media is/was busy covering either cricket or doing negative journalism. In October last week and November first week World Championship of Artistic Gymnastics took place.India's Dipa Karmarkar finished 5th in the Vault event in the final.No coverage,no mention.She also won bronze in Commonwealth Games 2014 and 4th in the Asian Games 2014 but surely finishing 5 the in World Championship would top them but unfortunately no mention.

So I assume that once again we will not see any Indians play in a T20 tournament other than IPL?
