ICC Proposes Stricter Regulations for T20 Leagues Including Four Overseas Player Limit
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is proposing stricter regulations for global T20 franchise leagues, including a limit of four overseas players per playing XI, which could impact leagues like the UAE's ILT20 and the United States' Major League Cricket (MLC). These leagues currently have higher overseas player allowances and exemptions. The ICC's proposals also include enhanced oversight on league operations, sponsorship, and anti-corruption measures. The recommendations will be discussed at the ICC's quarterly meeting in Bali, potentially reshaping franchise cricket governance worldwide.
