Australia, New Zealand and South Africa have confirmed they are planning a multi-nation franchise-owned Twenty20 tournament based on the IPL, which they hope to launch by 2011. Although the competition is still in the planning stages, the idea is to have city-based teams and schedule it at a time that would allow Indian stars to take part.
Oh baby, I hope Dhaka or any other Bangladeshi city gets invited. If possible, we should lobby hard to be there when it begins. More club cricket - the future is here.
