Recently, one of the scouts from a team shared his thoughts with InsideSports:

“As we are allowed only four retentions, all of us will have to start from scratch as we don’t know if we can get the released players back in the auction. The BBL, LPL, Vijay Hazare are some of the platforms where young and unheard players showcase their talent. Hence, these tournaments are very important for us,”

Why does IPL need BBL, LPL, and Vijay Hazare 2021?

T20 leagues from across the globe, have given a platform to the youngsters to showcase their talent. Riley Meredith, Jhye Richardson, and Tim David have emerged as some of the top names because of their BBL performance. Big Bash League is turning out to be a training ground for pace bowling.

Similarly, Vijay Hazare Trophy is turning out to be a training ground for hard hitters. Prithvi Shaw, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson all three have proved their worth by scoring big numbers and smashing the ball hard in Vijay Hazare Trophy. Yashaswi Jaiswal’s double century helped to knock the doors of IPL scouts.

At Sri Lanks’s LPL, all eyes will be onWanininu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera. There are some more names that might interest scouts at LPL.

“It will be a hectic month for sure. In between moving from a city to city for Hazare, some will be monitoring the players on TV. The Covid restrictions in Australia have definitely been a letdown but those who haven’t been able to go have been watching the BBL and LPL matches closely. You never know when you get another Ajanta Mendis or Chris Lynn,” the scout said to InsideSports. You can check live cricket betting tips and tricks here.
