James McOnie: Sports broadcaster analyses indian-backed T20 competition in NZ
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
22 years on from cricket introducing the shortest format, T20 has become the vehicle in which the sport is growing around the world, and New Zealand is next to be added to the list of countries that partake in the franchise.
The franchise led by the Indian Premier League has expanded to nations such as England, Australia, Pakistan, the West Indies and South Africa.
But not everyone is happy about the proposed league, as key members of New Zealand's cricketing world butt heads over whether or not the league should come to New Zealand.
Sports broadcaster James McOnie joins Jason Pine to analyse the drama and share his personal thoughts on the introduction of T20 in New Zealand.
