Longer IPL to corner quarter of cricket’s calendar

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: For the next three seasons, Indian Premier League has carved out its biggest window ever. As per an internal communication to the 10 franchises ahead of the November 24-25 mega auction, IPL 2025 is slated to begin on March 14 with the final on May 25. Next year’s IPL will remain a 74-match affair and not scale up to 84 matches as mentioned in the 2023-27 media rights’ tender document. Till 2017, when IPL’s media rights value shot up, overseas players’ availability was a constant challenge with boards often unwilling to accommodate players’ demand to maximize their earning potential in India. In a significant boost to franchises, all of England’s 18 contracted players except Test captain Ben Stokes will also mostly be available for the next three terms.
