Topic GuideThe Indian Premier League:In this era of Globalization, the IPL could be moved anywhere

Ostensibly, the Indian Premier League !IPL" is an Indian domestic cricket tournament. Simultaneously, it isalso a showcase for the economics of Globalization . As a spectacle it has an #mericanized feel to it with its

cheerleaders, dug-outs and million dollar contracts but it is quintessentially Indian, successfully combiningthe best international cricketing talent in a shortened format of the game ( !"# with the ra$$mata$$ of%ollywood. he result& a sports branding opportunity that has captured the imagination of an internationalaudience. his hype and thirst for ad'ertising re'enue, as well as the shifting of the IPL to $outh #frica ,has caused the tournament to be condemned as an enterprise solely for money. Some fear the I ) isdetrimental to the game of cricket itself and point to the numerous contro'ersies that plague it as cheapeningthe gentleman%s game . At the core of all these issues lies one central question& does the I ) harm orbenefit cricket*

The IPL debate in conte&t:

$hould the IPL be ruthless in its search for profits'he I ) is a creature of +lobali$ation, satisfying its most important tenets& pri'ate ownership of teams,

targeting a global market for its product and seeking profits for its in'estors. he I ) needs to aggressi'elymake profits because in the global capitalist system, unless a game can pay its bills, it is as good as dead.he old days when go'ernments patroni$ed sports is gone. herefore, if the e'ent cannot not be held in

India, the tournament has to be held abroad to mitigate losses. he re'enue source in the modern era is thetele'ision screen in a li'ing room not the traditional stadium gate. On the other hand, the present creditcrunch has undermined +lobali$ation as a desirable economic process. or e ample, Setanta abroadcaster sponsor has gone bankrupt and e'en /anchester 0nited faces debt. he Allen Stanford fiasco highlights that administrators should protect the image of the game and the sentiments of fans o'er easyprofits. If the I ) se'ers its emotional connection to the Indian populace, the world1 s biggest cricket market,then it risks going broke. A sustainable economic model is more important than short-term profits.

(ow does a fan identify with the IPL'+lobali$ation threatens the older notions of loyalty based on nationhood, best e emplified in the ebbit test .

he I ) primarily caters to the desire to watch international stars compete without restriction by nationality.herefore, as the I ) targets a de-national 'iewer, it can be conducted anywhere in the world. he mo'e ofthe I ) from India is ine'itable gi'en its ambitions and its huge successes abroad. It is comparable to e'entssuch as the 2nglish remier )eague in football, the golf tours or ormula 3 racing where indi'iduals andpri'ately owned teams en4oy an international fan following. 5owe'er, this begs the question about howdenationali$ed the I ) really is* he league is named after India and teams ha'e a cap on foreign players

articularly, the e'ent follows the home-away league format for which a local fan base is mandatory toensure gate sales and a dedicated following for merchandise. ar from being de-national, the I ) seemscharacteri$ed by hyper nationality.

)hat are the costs to India if the IPL is conducted abroad'he inability to host the I ) raises questions o'er India1s security scenario as well as the host of e'ents like

the 6ommonwealth +ames in !"3" and the 6ricket 7orld 6up in !"33. he shift undermined the country8sdiplomatic effort to differentiate itself from akistan8s turbulent domestic security situation. urthermore,many are calling the I ) recession proof and South African leaders, 9galema /otlanthe and :acob ;uma,ha'e acknowledged the immense economic benefits of the tournament to their country. India stands to losemillions in ta ation re'enue and indirect spin-off benefits. 6on'ersely, many argue that India8s image far frombeing tarnished was actually protected. If the I ) was held in India and an untoward incident occurred, theprice to pay would ha'e been unimaginable. he I ) is better as a touring brand ambassador for Indian soft power and cricket in general.

*oes a transnational IPL threaten the future of cric+et'here are two important debates on the threats posed by the I ). One, the purists fear that the !" format

threatens the five day Test match . wo, some fear the I ) causes o'er-e posure to domestic !",challenging the primacy of international cricket. he loss of the Indian team at the !" world cup is beingblamed on I ) fatigue. 6ricket is weak as an international sport as few countries participate competiti'ely./o'ing the I ) from country to country could ha'e the disastrous effect of destroying local first class cric+et , the nursery of talent and reducing the appetite for est cricket. 6ricket is a dying game, admits%rian )ara but !" has gi'en it a lease of life. he I ) can be used to attract new 'iewers in emergingcricket nations by generating e citement and showcasing the best of cricket talent.< Academy of Ideas )td !""=>isit www-debatingmatters-com for access to the articles and resources listed here
