Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has called on cricket boards worldwide to stop sending their players to the Indian Premier League (IPL), pointing out that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not allow Indian players to participate in foreign T20 leagues. He suggested that other boards should take a stand and prevent their cricketers from playing in the cash-rich league as a countermeasure. While speaking on a local news channel in Pakistan, Inzamam reminded everyone about the growing dominance of the IPL worldwide and questioned why other boards continue to send their players when Indian cricketers do not reciprocate. "Keep the Champions Trophy aside; look at the IPL, where all the top players from around the world take part. But Indian players don’t go to play in other leagues. Hence, all the boards should stop sending their players to the IPL. If you don’t release your players for any league, then shouldn’t other boards take a stance?” Inzamam said. Indian cricketers who have played in foreign leagues While BCCI strictly prohibits male Indian players from participating in foreign franchise leagues, female cricketers have been given the freedom to play in foreign leagues.

On the other hand, retired Indian men’s cricketers have occasionally featured in foreign leagues. Yuvraj Singh played in the Global T20 Canada, Dinesh Karthik recently participated in SA20, and Shikhar Dhawan appeared in the Nepal Premier League. After retiring from International cricket, Ambati Rayudu went on to play in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the USA and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). However, BCCI enforces a strict policy preventing active players from taking part in any foreign T20 competitions. Any Indian men's cricketer who has played international cricket cannot play in other leagues unless they are retired. Notably, the BCCI also restricts former players from returning to the IPL if they choose to represent other foreign leagues.
