The Karnataka Premier League franchises have fetched Rs 35 crores. Kumble and Srinath don't see anything good in this model. They think, too much money at an early age can have a negative effect on these youngsters. Moreover, a more valid point, is that T20 should not be allowed to get into the grassroots level, as it will misguide the players a lot.

The New Zealand A team will be coming to India for the Buchi Babu tournament. It is a tournament for state teams, with an overseas team invited. The matches run two days, ninety overs a day. Shane Bond, it seems, is coming back with them this year- he was there last year as well.
