ICC to form committee addressing impact of franchise cricket

The ICC announced it will establish a committee to examine the growing influence of franchise cricket on the international calendar. With leagues like the IPL, SA20, and BBL occupying significant time, concerns have risen about player commitments. The board aims to ensure franchise cricket can coexist with international matches. The issue has become particularly pressing in the Caribbean, where prominent players opt for franchise opportunities over international duties. Previously, the ICC has discussed potential measures, including limits on league participation to prioritize national commitments.
