Extra overseas slots to open up in first months of ChampionshipClubs can in theory block homegrown talent from joining league
English counties face losing more of their leading homegrown talents during the first two months of next season – and potentially in years to come – amid a proposal for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to run concurrently with the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The 10-team IPL is the only franchise T20 league to overlap with the start of the County Championship in April and May, with this year’s edition seeing 12 English players among the 80 overseas slots – fewer than one for each county.
