ETPL Will Play A Crucial Role In Making Cricket A Global Affair Ahead Of Olympics: Ashwin
European T20 Premier League: Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) can become a significant catalyst in cricket's global expansion ahead of the sport's return to the Olympic Games.
Speaking after the ETPL 2026 Player Draft on Wednesday, the Dublin Guardians captain and mentor said the league's primary objective should be to develop players from Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands by providing them with sustained exposure to high-level T20 cricket while preparing the game for a bigger global stage.
Ashwin made the remarks when asked whether the ETPL could provide European cricketers with a platform that attracts the attention of scouts from leading franchise leagues around the world. The former India all-rounder said the league's impact would extend well beyond the tournament itself, particularly with cricket set to feature at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
