IPL 2024 T20 cricket series is going on in various cities of India. As usual, many foreign players are playing in all the teams this year. In that way, it can be said that the IPL has the same quality as the international series because foreign players and Indian players play together.
However, foreign players who play in the IPL also earn money and get to know the conditions in India better. So it has become a routine for the foreigners who beat India at home in ICC series to take away the trophy. But BCCI has not allowed only Indian players in foreign series.

Sehwag comments:
So it can be said that the Indian team is lagging behind in the ICC series held abroad. As a result, there have been calls for years to allow current Indian players and retired former players to play in overseas T20 series. But BCCI is still not listening.
Australian legend Adam Gilchrist asked Sehwag why Indian players like you do not play in foreign T20 series like Big Bash. The following is what Sehwag spoke about in a direct manner. “There is no need to play abroad. We are rich people. So we don’t have to go to poor countries. I was playing in the IPL after being dropped from the Indian team.”

“Then I got a call to play in the Big Bag Series. I asked how much you would pay for it. They said 100000 dollars. But I told them it was money I could use for my tourism. It is not enough for hotel expenses. You are paid 100000 or 200000 dollars to play a month in a series like BigBash or Hundred. So if you talk about million dollars I will agree to play”

“If not, no. I was once invited to be a commentator on Sky Sports TV. I told them you can’t pay for it. They asked how much for it. Then I said 10,000 euro per day. Finally they said yes we can’t give it as you say.
