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.
We should've kept 4 foreign payers per team and added one more team to give more chances to local players.
The issue is attracting good quality foreign players. I don't think most teams have 4 first choice foreign players.
