Leagues like IPL, PSL and CPL have good local players, but we don't have enough skilled players to fill these 5 teams. I saw Upul Tharanga is still playing too. If we had 5 international players, our players get more exposure playing with them, then the teams don't have to include players like Upul Tharanga who is very doubtful of playing again for SL in a T20 international. Even that podi Malinga (curly haired, short guy) was bowling crappy deliveries, if we had enough international players teams don't have to play these types of local players.
Also, BigBash has drawn all the good players around the world, and we are left with like 3rd and 4th string international left over players.
The point of these leagues is a)$$$ b)find potential good young players. The less chances we give them the lesser the surface area we have to find better local players.
Local player should get the chance to play more. Not less.
Nothing form with UT playing. Most leagues have some ex-international stalwarts still playing. You can't have all green local players with some international stars.
