international T20s that are scheduled in almost every cricket series, almost every
major cricket playing nation has its own domestic leagues. These leagues have been
successful in pulling over a large number of audiences to the stadiums, making it a
swashbuckling offer. There is no denying the fact that the money involved is also
more than any other format, making it lucrative for players around the world.

The present scenario

As mentioned earlier, domestic leagues have gained a lot of popularity in recent
times, bringing people of all age-groups together to enjoy a game of cricket, proving
to be a good ambassador for the sports. Leagues like the Big Bash League of
Australia and the Natwest t20 Blast of England are very popular, but the one that sits
at the top is the Indian edition, Indian premier league. The best aspect of these
leagues is the fact that it has led to an intermingling of players of different countries
together and also among the domestic and international players, making it a great
learning experience for the young brigade. T20 has occupied quite a large platform
in the international arena as well with the T20 world cup which started in South Africa
and was won by India. West Indies are the reigning champions now, though a team
has to defend the title every 2 years.

entertainment.
