The report further goes on to claim that BCCI's decision to let Indian cricketers take part in the 100-ball tournament would pave the way for negotiations around an IPL franchise in London.
"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," the report said. Earlier, the BCCI had given its approval to the women cricketers for participating in the Kia Super League T20, starting in England this summer.
