Indian cricket stars are rarely seen plying their trade in professional leagues outside of India. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is probably the only non-Test domestic tournament that stars like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni even think of playing. While there has been a lot of clamour from across the border to get Team India stars to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), the first sighting of an Indian star playing in a foreign domestic limited-overs league could be in the 'Hundred' tournament, which starts in England in 2020.
India's all-powerful cricket authority, the BCCI, which bans its players from overseas T20 tournaments to protect their market-leading Indian Premier League, are understood to be considering making an exception for the Hundred because it is played over 100 balls compared to 120," read a dailymail.co.uk report.
According to the report, BCCI's decision to allow the Indian players from participating in the 100-ball an innings tournament would serve as a bargaining chip for negotiations around an IPL franchise in London.
