If this tournament is an "investment" (sounds more like a corporate company saying "we are here to give you jobs"), then you gotta fork over more cash than this. No players are going to risk playing in an unknown league ran by a dubious cricket board. GT20 paid handsomely for the first season and for the second season more players arrived. There were only few Canadian players in the starting line up, as a result we saw much better quality and much better viewership. People tuned in to watch Gayle, Malinga,Russel and Faf not watch Nitish Kumar of Canda lol. This tournament should have paid higher salary to lure more foreign players in fact Thisara, Shanaka and Dickwella were supposed to play but couldn't because a bilateral series that was arranged like a month ago.
