Saudi Arabia On World Richest Cricket League: The mega auction for IPL 2025 took place in Saudi Arabia. In the big update that came out after this mega auction, it became clear that Saudi Arabia will not have the world’s most expensive cricket league. All types of claims have been rejected from the Saudi side. It was being said that the cricket league to be held in Saudi will compete with the Indian Premier League.
Let us tell you that at present the Indian Premier League i.e. IPL is the most expensive cricket league in the world. Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation (SACF) chairman His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Mishaal Al Saud clarified that the reports are false, insisting that the kingdom has no plans to launch such a league. This was revealed in a report by Cricbuzz.
While talking to some Indian journalists from Saudi Arabia during the IPL auction in Jeddah, Prince said that ‘this is not right.’ Apart from this, he also rejected the fact that Saudi Arabia has any intention of investing in IPL. He said, “This is also not true.”
It is worth noting that the Saudi government and its emir sheikhs were planning to start a cricket league featuring international players. But now all these claims have come to an end.
However, Saudi Arabia Cricket Federation Chairman Mishaal Al Saud did not rule out the possibility of hosting some IPL matches in the future. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how the relations between India and Saudi Arabia develop through cricket.
IPL auction first step towards cricket
Saudi Prince said that cricket will grow on a large scale here and top class stadiums will soon be built, especially inside Jeddah. IPL auction is the first big step. This will help us complete some of our plans faster. Hosting it would not have been possible without the great support of the Saudi Government and Mr. Jai Shah (BCCI Secretary).
