The format 74 games in 2 months 8 teams Each team plays each other twice Home and away Winner takes home $2million, half of which has to be shared equally between players

Squad selection Minimum of 16 players in a squad 14 indian at least and max of 10 foreign players Minimum of 6 from under 22’s Provides platform for young cricketers to show themselves to national team selectors Discovers existing talent Some players can be bought at auction Ben Stokes

Controversies Competition has been marred by corruption 3 players arrested in 2013 over spot fixing Two of the most successful franchises suspended

The impact on the game The game now favours the batsmen Led to innovative shots It is more common to see teams chase bigger totals than in the past Noticeable run chases England vs South Africa (t20 world cup 2016) - England chased 229 India vs England (ODI Jan 2017) - India chased 350

Legacy Many countries have successfully used the IPL blueprint, including the Australian Big Bash and the Caribbean Premier League Could it work in England? 4 week tournament proposed by ECB - could help develop young talent and broaden the appeal of cricket in this country
