I keep forgetting the level of government control over sports in current and former commonwealth countries. from a US perspective it seems kind of bizarre. I take the idea that the federal government would never have any say in who the NBA who can hire for granted.

The NBA is a private company though, the BCCI is a government board that started a cricket league. If it started like the NBA, the government would have no/little say.

I would imagine thought that trying to start a league like the IPL in a country with an institution like the BCCI would be difficult if not impossible.

Is the Hundreds tournament in England sanctioned by the England\Wales Cricket

board? Does that board have similar powers as the BCCI?
