Will the IPL upset international cricket?

This year’s Indian Premier League began on March 31 and will end on May 28. That is a considerable time period of 59 days. 74 matches are scheduled to be held in this tournament, in which 10 teams will participate.

However, there is a protracted calm in international cricket during this time. Only a few games have been played between the major cricket-playing nations. During the Indian Premier League, only two Test matches have been played, and those were between Sri Lanka and Ireland. Both matches were won by Sri Lanka.

Also, during this period, only two ODI series have been held and only eight matches have been played. These are five matches between New Zealand and Pakistan and three matches between Ireland and Bangladesh. Pakistan won the series, and New Zealand managed to win only one ODI in the series. New Zealand came without their key players because those players were playing for their franchise teams in the IPL.

In these two months, only one international T20 series has been played. It is a series of five matches between Pakistan and New Zealand. Pakistan also won the series.
