‘Club Vs Country Debate Is Old’: Lalit Modi Defends IPL’s Impact
The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) founder Lalit Modi has defended franchise cricket’s growing influence on the modern game, saying the long-running club-versus-country debate no longer holds relevance because tournaments like the IPL are now producing better and more fearless cricketers for international cricket.
Discussing the influence of franchise leagues on young players, Modi explained that the IPL has transformed the traditional pathway to the top by offering immediate opportunities, high-pressure environments and global exposure at an early stage of a player’s career.
“The club-versus-country debate is now an old debate. Franchise cricket, and especially the IPL, has become the ultimate testing ground for youngsters,” Modi told IANS.
