David Warner is reportedly set to snub the BBL in an attempt to play a new overseas T20 league. One legend is concerned about the can of worms it opens for Cricket Australia.
IPL franchises Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals have all invested in teams in the new UAE league. IPL franchises also own all six sides in the new South African T20 league.
There is suggestion in the coming years that IPL clubs will contract their star players for a full 12-month period, which would also see them play not only in the IPL, but also in the Carribean, UAE and South African Leagues.
