'You play IPL, you get into Indian team': Pathan on cricket's evolution
Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has reflected on the transformation in Indian cricket post IPL. Pre-IPL, players aimed for Ranji, Duleep, or U19 teams to reach national squad. Now, one IPL can propel entry into the Indian team. Rejecting lucrative offers, Pathan prioritized giving back to Indian cricket, shunning T10 and Caribbean leagues for Jammu Kashmir cricket.
