BCCI should allow Indian players to participate in T20 leagues abroad: Gilchrist: Adam Gilchrist, the former Australian cricketer, reckons that the Indian cricketers should be allowed to play in the other T20 leagues apart from being available in the Indian Premier League. He pointed out that the involvement of Indian players in foreign leagues would do wonders for the other cricket boards as well as it will help the IPL to establish more as a brand.



Interestingly, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), presently, doesn?t allow any Indian contracted cricketer to feature in the overseas cricket leagues without their permission to maintain the exclusivity of the Indian Premier League.?



Gilchrist, who has played six IPL seasons, wants to see Indian players playing in the cricket leagues in Australia and other countries.



?It will be wonderful (if the Indian players are allowed to play in overseas T20 leagues), I personally feel that it won?t diminish the IPL, it will only grow them as a brand. If they (Indian players) can play in Australia or South Africa,? Gilchrist told reporters.



The legendary Australian wicketkeeper further added that he had never got an honest answer as to why Indian players are not allowed to take part in foreign cricket leagues.



Notably, Adam Gilchrist?s statement came a day after he criticised the Indian Premier League for its growing dominance in the world.



?I?m not criticising the IPL, but why won?t Indian players come and play in the Big Bash league? I?ve never had an open and honest answer: Why are some leagues accessing every player in the world? No Indian player plays in any other T20 league. I am not saying in a provocative sense, but is that a fair question?? he asked.



?I really want to highlight (that the) six seasons (I played in the IPL) I loved it. It was a great experience. It is the premier T20 competition in the world, but it is important to allow other boards and countries to prosper as well,? he added.

<h2>BCCI contemplating to allow Indian players:</h2>



Recently several reports surfaced all over the internet that the BCCI is mulling over the decision to allow its player to play in foreign leagues. The topic has been raised by a couple of IPL franchises having a significant presence in abroad leagues.



"Few IPL teams with a presence in leagues abroad have requested the BCCI to allow Indian players. But we have to discuss this at the AGM before coming to any conclusion," a senior BCCI official told.



However, it is imperative to note that the IPL?s success is largely because of its exclusivity from the other T20 leagues across the globe.?Anything that will hamper that shouldn't be done for the security of the IPL.



?It is a contentious issue as IPL is successful because of the exclusivity it provides. Definitely, we won?t lose that. As for Indian players playing abroad, it may happen due to growing number of franchise leagues,? added the BCCI official.

Australian batting great Adam Gilchrist picked his top five T20 International players in the world yesterday, with less than two weeks to go from the T20 World Cup 2022 to be played from October 16. 



Gilchrist, who himself is credited with revolutionizing the game with his work with both the bat and wicketkeeping gloves, enjoyed an amazing career for Australia in white-ball cricket. He won three World Cup titles with the Kangaroos. He scored 9619 runs in 287 ODIs at a strike rate of 96.94 and 2622 T20 runs at a strike rate of around 141.



<h2>Australian great Adam Gilchrist named his top five T20 players</h2>



In the ICC review, Gilchrist has now picked five of the best T20I players at the moment. The Australian legend has overseen a wealth of T20 cricket and has Australia opener, David Warner, at the top of the list of players from five different countries in his quintet.



David&nbsp;Warner (Australia) - ICC T20I Batting Ranking: 49th

Gilchrist was quoted as saying by ICC.com, "David Warner is at the top of the order. I think just his aggressive attitude, the way he starts the innings at the top, and the confidence he has from the last T20 World Cup."



Babar Azam (Pakistan)- ICC T20I Batting Ranking: 3rd



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Babar-azam.jpg" alt="Gilchrist's top 5 t20 picks" class="wp-image-95240" /><figcaption>Babar Azam (Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Next, he picked Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who scored 3039 runs in 87 T20Is at a strike rate of 130.03 with 2 centuries and 27 fifties.



?His versatility across all formats, but also when it?s getting down to T20 cricket, just across all conditions, I think he can play all conditions really well,? Gilchrist said for Babar Azam

Gilchrist's third choice was Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who made a stellar return to the Indian team in 2022. He has scored 989 runs in 73 T20Is at a strike rate of 148.89 and has also taken 54 wickets. Gilchrist said, ?Pandya is just an awesome figure straight across the board. His ability to bat, bowl, field, and entertain, he?s definitely in there.?



Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) - ICC T20I Bowling Ranking: 4th

Afghanistan's Rashid Khan was Gilchrist's fourth choice, considering that he has taken 118 wickets in 71 T20Is with an economy of 6.24. ?He?s just got to be there in any T20 team, doesn?t he? Cricketer of the year in this format across the world. Over the last decade, Rashid Khan is in there,? the former Australia keeper said.

He is just dynamic, with his power and his courage to take it on. Simply a stroke of brilliance from him and its game over.?

These two are looking very good to play a second consecutive final against each other next year in England. However, the upcoming five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy will solve many questions.

Since then, India have beaten them in four series. Overall, these two teams have played 16 BGT series where India have won 10, Australia have won 5, while one series ended in a draw.



Former Australian wicket-keeper <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Gilchrist" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Gilchrist">Adam Gilchrist</a> also feels that the coming series will be very tough and it is not easy to predict the winner. However, he reckons that Australia need to win the series to carry on their home dominance because they have failed to do it in the last two home series against <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/india/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/india/">India</a>.



Gilchrist said in an interview with TOI, ?It is going to be another tough series for both teams.

Naturally, I am going to say Australia; I hope they get there. But it is too close to call. It will be a close tussle."



In 2018-19, India won the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/mohammed-shami-to-play-border-gavaskar-series-jay-shah-gives-major-update-on-shamis-availability/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/mohammed-shami-to-play-border-gavaskar-series-jay-shah-gives-major-update-on-shamis-availability/">Border-Gavaskar series</a> in Australia under Virat Kohli, while in 2020-21, Ajinkya Rahane led India to win. That's why Pat Cummins and his men are desperate to win the BGT title. A number of Australian players have spoken about the importance of the series win against India.



Meanwhile, former <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/australia/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/australia/">Australian </a>captain Ricky Ponting also predicted Australia would win the coming series against India. He made the bold statement and predicted a 3-1 series win for the hosts. Only time will tell the result of the series, but fans are waiting to see these two strong teams collide in the toughest format in the game.

Jamie Smith the English wicket-keeper batter has emerged as England?s rescue player in the no.7 position, as he turned the tables for England whenever their innings were falling apart, he has emerged and held them together. In the recent series against Sri Lanka, which is Jamie?s second series after his debut in the Caribbean islands. The wk-batter emerged as England?s first-choice gloveman in the longest format of the game and batted well in the Windies island as well. Next, Jamie Smith has emerged as one of the key players for the English side, as he was one of England?s best batters in the match when he played a vital maiden century at Old Trafford, which gave England the push they needed in the first innings. Jamie has often played vital innings down the order, and his scoring rate has impressed many. Since, the time <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendon_McCullum">Brendon McCullum</a> took over England?s red-ball team, as their head coach, he changed the course of the game for England.

 His aggressive nature has instilled many players and former English skipper, Paul Collingwood to believe that he can be as effective for them as Adam Gilchrist was for the Aussie as he came down to bat at no.7 as a wicket-keeper batter.

However, Jamie?s 67 which gave the perk England innings needed when all other batters failed seemed very crucial.
