Uncertainties began to loom over a few of the franchise leagues, likethe UAE’s ILT20 and the USA’s Main League Cricket (MLC), as soon because the franchise league review group submitted its proposals to the Worldwide Cricket Councils.

But the latest report is believed to have come as a aid for both of the franchise leagues, because the cricket council did not approve any of the proposals of their latest assembly held in Bali. Within the assembly on Saturday, there were discussions in regards to the proposals, but the officials did not take a final call on any of these proposals.

“Even in the board assembly, it’s expected that there will only be discussions; the recommendations are unlikely to be carried out right away,” a
