The International Cricket Council (ICC) has proposed tighter regulations for franchise T20 leagues worldwide, seeking greater control over overseas player participation, league operations and tournament approvals.
The proposals are expected to be discussed at the ICC Board and Committee meetings in Bali, Indonesia, from November 11 to 15.
The Franchise League Review Group, chaired by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Tamim Iqbal, is reviewing the existing framework to strengthen governance, maintain the integrity of the game and address the rapid expansion of franchise cricket.
The proposed measures could affect major competitions such as the UAE's International League T20 (ILT20) and the United States' Major League Cricket (MLC). The ICC is yet to make a final decision on the recommendations.
