2008 – THE BEGIGNING OF A NEW ERA OF CRICKET
2008, INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. The birth of a money making cricket league. INDIAN CRICKET LEAGUE (ICL) a cricket league that with it’s alluring money made so many big names of international cricket sacrifice their international carrier 2008, a year rather remarkable for the start of a new era for the great game of cricket.
What’s it that makes 2008 a new beginning of Cricket? Well as we all know it’s money. It’s not that money was not associated with Cricket but it has never been this huge. 2008 has seen cricketers earning millions of dollars within just 3 months.
This money factor introduced by big names in the media world & few very successful business men has already attracted quite a few cricketers from all over the world. Not only the money but also the glamour in it has played a vital role for so many cricketers who has a hunger for exposure in this level.
A world of cricket where great money & glamour comes easily if you can perform well will certainly gift us some magnificent performance. But the cricket fans might just miss the big guns firing at the international level as the amount of cricket played is already massive & these leagues might decrease the efficiency of the cricketer at the highest level.
Not only high profile cricketers but also some local Indian boys has also made their mark in the IPL & ICL series. So these series might help Indian cricket a great deal but leaves a question mark on how it is going to affect the international cricket.
