By India Today Web Desk: Former India head coach Anil Kumble desires the Board of Control for Cricket in India to permit its younger gamers to take part in numerous T20 leagues internationally. Since the appearance of the Indian Premier League, many nations have their very own T20 franchise leagues which have seen unprecedented success. Kumble is of the opinion that the gamers needs to be allowed to achieve publicity and expertise earlier than the 2024 World Cup to be held within the West Indies and the United States.

As issues stand, whereas the abroad gamers are welcomed within the IPL, the BCCI would not permit any energetic Indian cricketer to take part within the international leagues.

“I think exposure certainly helps. We have seen that with the kind of development that it has had on Indian cricket. For example, the IPL, where overseas players come in and the kind of changes we’ve had in Indian cricket has certainly helped,” Kumble was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

“In terms of giving an opportunity to a young player to go overseas and have a crack, then why not?” Kumble questioned.

“I think it’s important that you need to have everything that you need to do that come 2024, you are well prepared to take on a World Cup event,” the previous India captain concluded on the matter.

India had been knocked out of the T20 World Cup on Thursday, 10 November by England after succumbing to an enormous defeat by 10 wickets. England captain Jos Buttler and opener Alex Hales mixed to place up a fast partnership of 170 runs in simply 16 overs to knock India out of the event. The exit marked yet one more failure for India within the ICC tournaments, one which they haven’t gained since 2013 Champions Trophy.
