The latest assessment by the World Cricketers’ Association has ranked the Indian Premier League (IPL) as the third major men’s domestic T20 competition globally. The Hundred from England and SA20 from South Africa were placed ahead of IPL in the updated rankings. The assessment provides an overall rating out of 100 for each league based on criteria such as player conditions, protections, and professional standards. IPL received full marks for average player payment and payment reliability, showcasing its financial strength in the franchise market. However, it scored lower in categories related to player rights and protections. The WCA aims to create a global benchmark for domestic competitions to help players make informed career decisions and promote transparency in the game. The rankings also highlighted other leagues like BBL, PSL, and CPL. WCA CEO Tom Moffat emphasized the need for stronger standards across all leagues to ensure fair protections and standards for players. The WCA has reached out to leagues to collaborate and enhance professional standards in cricket.
