ICC launches subcommittee to oversee franchise cricket leagues
Original: ICC's new franchise leagues subcommittee promises improved 'checks-and-balances review' of the game
The International Cricket Council has formed a new subcommittee dedicated to franchise leagues, promising a stronger 'checks-and-balances review' of the game. The body is expected to scrutinise how domestic T20 and other franchise competitions operate alongside international cricket. The move comes as privately run leagues multiply worldwide, raising questions about scheduling, player availability and regulation.
Why now: Franchise leagues are expanding rapidly, prompting the ICC to signal tighter oversight of their impact on the global game.
