India can't send their players to overseas T20 leagues, their coach Rahul Dravid has said, because a lot of these leagues are played during India's domestic season. The topic came up when Dravid was asked whether India had been at a disadvantage during their semi-final defeat to England because their players don't have any BBL experience in Australia, while England's do, and if India would look to send players to the BBL in the future.
The tenuous link between the experience of playing the BBL in the Australian summer and doing well there in early spring conditions notwithstanding.
"I mean, sure, there's no doubt about it, the fact that England… a lot of their players have come here and played," Dravid said. "In this tournament, it certainly showed. It's tough. I think it's very difficult for Indian cricket because a lot of these tournaments happen right in the peak of our season.
