IPL: Indian Premier League or Ijnury Prone League

Indian Premier League is a big hit, not only in India but in all cricket playing nations. There is high attraction towards IPL because it has big money, Bollywood stars, 40 overs game, foreign players participation, cheer girls, music.. everything. It is also a good platform for young cricketers to show their talent.

But since the start of IPL, many players are getting injured and this could be a big concern for Indian selectors and even coach Gary Kirsten. Ashish Nehra is already injured. Dhoni, Gambhir, Pathan, Uthappa were injured last week. Not only Indian players but foreign players like smith, mascarenhas also. ICC T20 world cup is just few weeks away and for the sake of IPL we may miss our key players for a very important international event.

Year 2008 champions team India crashed out of T20 world cup 2009 because of key players were missing due to injuries. Having Sehwag, Zaheer Khan in the side would have certainly made a big difference.

Though there is more entertainment in IPL, BCCI and Modi should not neglect internation tournaments. IPL can be scheduled after such tournaments also. Otherwise BCCI should limit the number of matches played by players who are playing in national team.

If these things are not handled properly then it's difficult for Team India to win T20 world cup for the second time in West Indies.
