This was already a bit of an issue, would expect that if they both reached the CL that Hampshire would get Dimi and Lumb as their main contract is with them (plus they are far from guarenteed to be in the Rajasthan team) and that any players going the other direction would play for Rajasthan.

Rajasthan reveal global team deal

So to break it down, they want to bring together a group of teams that'll bear a common logo, sponsor etc, exchange players amongst themselves, and play matches amongst themselves at different venues.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its probably a duck. Sounds like a parallel league in all but name. No way is the BCCI going to tolerate this without some majorly crippling conditions.

GI Joe, I am not getting it. They are not playing each other right? So what is wrong in this? BCCI is not going to lose control, and it's money is not going to get affected.

So what, Shane Warne could play for T&T? I don't really understand, do these teams share players etc or is it like coca-cola owning multiple brands such as Powerade, L&P, Fanta etc etc? With all the prize money going to the royals brand. So if Rajastan plays T&T in the final both winnings go to the royals brand. If that is the case then I think it is a brilliant economic decision and hope a NZ team gets into this deal.

They are planning on playing each other outside their respective leagues. Thats the problem.

Oh then, BCCI is going to take it seriously. Heck, a lot of issues are going to pop up, like player availability clauses, etc.

Will lead to allegations of fixing and matches being 'friendly" however.
Don't see how it is a rival league, all the teams included are very much commited to playing in their own league, it is creating that same team identity across all the compeitions that is the idea.
Yes they might play each other but can't see them being much more than friendly matches, Rajasthan have already played a match in England for example.

But they're talking of holding 'festivals' all over the world. Once they regularly play each other over the year, Modi is going to consider it a threat to the Champions league T20.

Hampshire actually are, and have been since EDIT 2001.
So much so that they were termed "Rod Bransgroveshire" in Wisden in 2003.

Was not until 2001, when Brangsrove came and saved us from financial ruin brought about largely from building the rose bowl which was moslty funded by the lottery. It was then that we became a privitate company and things stopped being run by the members commitee.
