The stature of IPL will increase, the hammer will fall on international cricket, the entire calendar of cricket will change after 2027.

News India Live, Digital Desk: A big change is knocking in the world of cricket. If you are a cricket lover, then in the coming few years you may get to see more excitement of IPL than international matches. According to sources, after the year 2027, the calendar of international cricket can be drastically cut, so that a big and special window can be created for the IPL. This simply means that in the coming time there will be less bilateral series and the dominance of league cricket will increase.

The number of matches and duration of the season will increase

According to the ongoing informal discussions between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the ICC, the number of matches in the next cycle of IPL can be increased from 74 to 84 or even more. Currently IPL runs for about two months, which is planned to be increased to two and a half to three months. The aim of this change is not only to increase the excitement of cricket but also to take broadcasting revenues to new heights.

Future of bilateral series in danger?

This big change will have the biggest impact on international bilateral series. When the IPL season will be long, it will be difficult to organize any major international series during that period. Experts believe that this could pose an even deeper crisis for the future of ODI cricket. Players are also now giving priority to T20 leagues instead of playing for the country, because both money and fame are more here.

Eye on broadcasters and revenue model

Due to the large window of IPL, advertisers and broadcasters will get a chance to earn big money. As IPL is becoming a global brand, cricket boards of other countries are also demanding a window for their leagues. However, considering the strength of BCCI and the market, IPL is being given the biggest priority. The Future Tour Program (FTP) after 2027 can be completely woven around T20 leagues.
