KOHLI. Dhoni and Rohit Sharma Likely To Be Permitted For 1,000 Ball Tournament In England
MUMBAI headquartered The Board of Control For Cricket In India is likely to okay Indian Captain Virat Kohli , his predecessor Mahendra Singh Dhoni and some other ranking cricketers including promising Rohit Sharma to play in the 100 ball-cricket tournament to be held in England in 2020.BCCI doesn’t allow its players to play in overseas T20 tournaments to protect their cash rich Indian Premier League-IPL .However, it is considering making an exception for the Hundred because it is played over 100 balls compared to 120.BCCI had earlier permitted Indian woman cricketers to participate in the Kia Super League T20 commencing in England this summer , reports dailymail.co.uk .”Having Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and other top Indians playing would be an immense boost for the Hundred in its inaugural year, especially when England’s Test players will not be involved.” It would also be a helpful bargaining chip for future negotiations around an IPL franchise in London,” dailymail.co.uk reports citing confirmed sources.(image courtesy IPL Website)
