Ness Wadia, who is renowned to be an integral part of the Indian business conglomerate Wadia Group, is one of the Punjab team owners in the Dream11 IPL as well. During the interaction, he emphasised about the importance of organising two seasons in a single year. According to Ness Wadia, having more than one Dream11 IPL season is important because “there is never enough of cricket” and “there are a lot of opportunities” to be given to young cricketers through it.
Ness Wadia also admitted that he has spoken about it with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials and the IPL Governing Council as well. He said that as franchise owners, they have always felt that there are “10 months in the year” without any IPL, thus referring to the annual two-month season conducted every year.
