Avoid Football Model, Prioritise International Cricket Over Franchise Leagues: Ross Taylor
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand batter Ross Taylor feels international cricket can still reach the pinnacle amid the rising popularity of the T20 leagues as cricket can't replicate football's league model.
Since the inception of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, franchise leagues in cricket have become quite famous with some players prioritising their options in those leagues. Taylor, who has played more than 100 matches for New Zealand in every format, feels that international cricket is suffering because of the Leagues.
Taylor while speaking about the impact of Leagues in limited overs cricket shared his insights in the mini Episode 1 of the podcast series '180 Not Out'.
