Twenty20 leagues around the world have the potential to eclipse international cricket as the shortest format of the game continues to attract new fans, believes IPL Team Kings XI punjab owner Preity Zinta.
“The way the format is and the way the leagues are structured, I think in the near future you are going to see league cricket take over,” Zinta told.
“If you look at other sports like football, of course the country sport is there and it is very important, but then it is the league sport that takes over at some point” she added.
One of the most prominent Bollywood actress in her time, Zinta has recently owned another franchisee team, this time in South Africa league.
