Miandad critical of IPL
Karachi: The Indian Premier League has come in for flak from former Pakistan captains including Javed Miandad and Wasim Akram, who feel the cash-rich Twenty20 competition has begun to damage the international cricket calendar.
“The IPL has already started hurting the international calendar and in the long run it will encourage more private parties and organisations to come in and start their own leagues if they have big money to roll,” he said on Friday.
Miandad said the IPL would create a divide in international cricket and feared players would be willing to sacrifice their international careers to play for more money in the BCCI-backed league. “People are comparing the IPL with the Kerry Packer series in the late ’70s. But these are two totally different things. The Packer series was held when players were paid ridiculously low wages,” Miandad said. — PTI
