I don't know whether this topic was discussed before or not.if yes then feel free to close the topic.
Today i read one article in a newspaper that 40% players have chosen IPL over their own country.They are even ready to retire prematurely to play in IPL only because of the money factor.
I agree IPL is giving lot of young,budding players a chance to show their capabilities and talent but will these players,too,will choose IPL and not the national team?
Cricket has turned into a money making business due to IPL but has IPL really taken over players wish to play for the country?
Will our Indian players too will choose money over nation?
What are your opinions?

I don't think so, they are under bully BCCI, and they won't mess with it. To them more than nation's pride is "ban from IPL too' 😆 and for all others - pehle Paise bolta tha abhi khelta hai

Exactly my thinking...in any case we are already done with the real cricket...the test cricket I mean...so I really don't care...this limited over cricket...is not cricket anyways...It feels like a beautil Mohd Rafi song has been re sung by Anu Malik😆...with fast beats...eww

Right after India won the world cup...the IPL started and these cricketers who fought for India...started playing agaist each other...unbelievable...🤢

IPL is India's strategy of global domination in cricket.

The IPL is so lucrative that all international star players are leaving their country to play IPL - Gayle, Malinga, et al.

Yeah Yeah, our senior players got tired in IPL, but hey ho, IPL is controlled by BCCI - you think they would schedule a tour where we need our best seniors around IPL? Nopes. BCCI will conveniently schedule tours of Bangladesh, West Indies, Zimbabwe or any other lesser team immediately after IPL and try to ensure that IPL clashes with important tours of other nations.

It also gives us the opportunity to expand our talent pool and give young players who otherwise never would get a taste of fame and fortune some delicious little bites.

Govt. I guess views BCCI as a money making organ, so there we go! Govt. will never object to anything run by BCCI.
As far as the young cricketers are concerned, who will watch it if only young Indian cricketers play? We have Ranji trophy for that. If only young Indian cricketers play IPL, from where will they get the money which they are getting now?
