The Indian cricket board (BCCI) will review its policy on the participation of Indian retired palyers in overseas T10 leagues as the Apex Council meeting is scheduled on July 7. The current policy allows Indian players to compete in overseas T20 Leagues only after international and domestic cricket.

Ambati Rayudu, who retired from the IPL after playing a hand in Chennai Super Kings' title-winning run last month, will now be seen playing for Texas Super Kings in the inaugural Major League Cricket (MLC) scheduled in the United States of America in July.

The idea could be to ensure that the standard of domestic cricket doesn't erode further as the mushrooming of T20 franchise cricket might lead to a lot of premature retirements.

The BCCI has chosen to protect its active players from taking part in T20 leagues and with the latest development, it can also put a clause on the participation of retired players. As per the agenda for the meeting, the "policy for retired players for participation in overseas" will be discussed.
