Hindustan Times  

Sunil Gavaskar said some former foreign cricketers want BCCI to allow Indian cricketers to play in their T20 leagues just to attract more sponsors.

Sunil Gavaskar; Indian cricket team "Some overseas former players have said that the Indian players should be allowed to play the Big Bash or the Hundred. But when Indian cricket looks to protect its cricket by ensuring that their players stay fresh for their matches and thus restricting them from playing overseas, that is not acceptable to the guys from the ‘old powers,’ Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar.
