IPL franchises hope to contract players for 12 months a year to play across a range of teams, Venky Mysore, the chief executive of Indian Premier League side Kolkata Knight Riders, has revealed.

This development would have seismic implications for the world game, enabling franchises to guarantee leading players lucrative year-round deals and, by extension, reduce the attractiveness of the international game.

The Knight Riders now have four teams under their umbrella - their flagship IPL franchise, the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League, plus sides in the International League T20 (UAE) and Major League Cricket (US), which both launch next year.

Other IPL teams are buying teams in other leagues - all six franchises in South Africa’s new T20 league, which launches in January - as international cricket faces heightened pressure to compete. Mysore revealed that the Knight Riders would love to be able to contract players for 12 months a year, to play for the teams in the four different leagues.
