IPL is the world's largest cricket league. This league played in India every year under the supervision of BCCI has now started competing with the second big league. This is the second most expensive league after America's National Football League (NFL), whose brand value is around 90 thousand crores. But Saudi Arabia is preparing to create a new league to challenge it and is ready to shed money like water for this. According to the report, initially Saudi Arabia can spend Rs 4300 crore for this league. If this happens, Saudi Arabia will directly condemn the BCCI, considered the world's strongest board.
According to the Australian media report, Saudi Arabia has given the responsibility of creating this league to cricket expert Neil Maxwell. Maxwell belongs to Australia and is leading the project. To fund this league, Saudi Arabia will take the help of SRJ Sports Investment, which leads Danny Townsand. According to the report, this group can spend $ 500 million (about Rs 4300 crore). If this happens, Saudi Arabia will now become a big name in cricket after football, golf and car racing.
According to the report, 8 teams will be included in the new League of Saudi Arabia. Its special thing is that like the Grand Slam of Tennis, all teams will continue to play in different countries throughout the year. After this, the Grand Final will be held in Saudi Arabia. Neil Maxwell has been planning for this league for about 1 year. With the help of Australian Cricket Association, they want to do it. For this, the permission of the ICC is being awaited.
Efforts are being made to make cricket more fun through this league. Apart from this, apart from big cricketing countries like India, Australia and England, other countries will also be tried to strengthen financially. Through this league, a new source of earnings will open, which will help the teams struggling for money. At the moment, such things have come out that this league will not hit the IPL and Big Bash League.
