"The consequence of that (an IPL window) is what do we do with the Big Bash League?". What do we do with other premier leagues - Sri Lanka is launching one, Bangladesh has one," Lorgat said here today.
"I know people might say the IPL is the premier league, but once you provide a window for one particular member, you have to be conscious of the fact you may well have to do it for other members. Hence why we have not been supportive of a window specifically for any one of those domestic leagues." he added.
The clashing of dates for this year's tournament has forced some of the West Indies players to choose between the IPL and their home Test series against Australia and similar could be the case next time as well with New Zealand scheduled to tour England for a Tests in a year that also features an Ashes series in England.
New Zealand are due to visit England during the second half of the Indian Premier League. MORE
