vIndianz.com (Aug. 18, 2009) — Sir Richard Hadlee has made strong a strong request to the decision makers: don’t betray our game.

HadleeHe says cricket has come in dangerous state because its guardians are confused due to huge flow money by the shortest form of cricket T20.

Hadlee, said the exponential growth of T20, particularly the Indian Premier League, had the potential to destroy the more traditional forms of cricket and – when its popularity eventually waned – the sport itself.

He further said, “IPL is franchise cricket, it’s club cricket, it is not international cricket. It will consume the game. It will have destroyed Test cricket and probably 50-over cricket.

Hadlee said the International Cricket Council had to act to deal with increasing problems of congested match schedules caused by the emergence of T20.
