He added that the number of matches (60 to 74 has been increased) in popular competitions like IPL. The previous eight teams have been replaced by 10 teams. At the same time, the scope of domestic leagues of many more countries is also increasing. Cricketers from different countries are showing more interest in playing in IPL and other leagues than playing for the country. There are 365 days in a year. So naturally the time for bilateral series is decreasing. As a result, there are some problems in organizing bilateral series.

Barclay added: “I love competitions like the IPL. Because many young cricketers come up from these competitions. If it weren’t for the domestic league, they probably wouldn’t be so well known. The popularity of cricket is increasing. That is the best thing.
