With the emergence of IPL,the perspective of cricket has been entirely changed.Players are more fond of earning $$ than on performing at the field.Most of the players dont play the sport as they used to say 5 yrs back(leaving aside legends like Sachin Tendulkar,Sanath Jaisuriya,Kallis,Anil Kumble,etc).In the year 2011 we'll be having IPL,T-20 WC,n the 50 over WC.Seeing so much cricket throughout the year affects the joy peaople used to have in watching cricket.Wont this affect the overall future of the sport?Whats ur take?

I don't think so.. because IPL is a very successive tournament.. and it gave a platform to newly batsman.. where they can performs well and attracts selectors concentration on them.. for international game.. so it is a very successive tournament.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

I agree with ur views that IPL is giving way to young talent but at the same time the audiences will start moving away with this........I think +ves and -ves on every issue........The +ves ain't many in this case.

Now it may not affecting but sure it will be in future... next year there are many tournaments so people have to choose few amongst them... players will injure for sure....

I dont think so. i think IPL is giving great oppertunities for home players to earn money for playing their favourite sports.More and more domestic talent is coming up and shining.
