The Indian players in the IPL have not played to expectations consistently enough, though there are exceptions like Robin Uthappa, writes Makarand Waingankar in the Hindu. There has been a suggestion from some of the foreigners in the IPL that the number of overseas players be raised to five.
To raise the level of the matches in the IPL, they could consider five foreigners for 50 per cent of the matches. This will definitely enhance the skill level and help the teams work on their strategies better. If a team is adding a foreign player it should inform the IPL Committee 24 hours before the match. That would make the match interesting. At the moment it is clear who the four foreign players are because no team carries all the 10 foreigners with it.
