ECBs EPL is an all whites affair.

ECB's version of IPL, unimaginatively called EPL, is an all-white affair. There are no teams from India, West Indies, Sri Lanka or Pakistan.
"A new English Premier League (is) to be played in June from 2010, involving all 18 first-class counties plus two teams from overseas, possibly South Africa and Australia."

Surely, this is carrying the white man's burden too far.

What about the three foreign players in each county?

Wasim,

That's the only saving grace.

Mind you, EPL is a domestic tournament, then why invite teams from Australia and South Africa and why not teams from other countries?

By 2010 T20 also will lose its sheen.

R,

That's a comforting thought. :)

I read elsewhere that one overseas team may be an Asian one and the other possibly a Stanford one...

RS,

Then it is a welcome news.
