Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has claimed that India dominates world cricket because it is the "biggest cricket market."
The T20 World Cup winner, while talking about the Indian Premier League (IPL) and its recently announced two-and-a-half month window, Afridi said that India is dominant enough to do that.
IPL's prolonged window is going to significantly impact international cricket as well as Pakistan's FTP schedule.
"It all comes down to the market and the economy. The biggest [cricket] market is India. Whatever they will say will happen," Afridi said while speaking to a local media channel.
Earlier, it was announced that IPL's broadcasting rights were sold for $6.02 billion.
"IPL is now the 2nd most valued sporting league in the world in terms of per match value," BCCI's secretary Jay Shah tweeted.
