According to a survey carried out by the BBC Sports on 334 cricketers which incorporated 15 English cricketers who were not a part of the Indian Premier League, when questioned whether they would like to play in IPL. Almost majority of the cricketers and half of the England team agreed they would love to play in the IPL.

Several England players who missed the debut IPL season are also ready to take a untimely retirement from international cricket to be a element of the IPL. The IPL has spent millions of money on this cricket project and are also benefiting to a great degree.

The Professional cricketers Association (PCA) said "It is clear that there is a huge amount of money since the Indian leagues have started and disturbed the cricketing structure worldwide. It seems doubtful that any other competition around the cricketing world could put as much money on the table and produce a competition of equivalent magnitude in the near future."

The PCA review also exposed that 45 per cent players would think about signing up for the Indian Cricket League (ICL), despite the fact that it could result in a 12-month ban from county cricket, and 89 per cent consider "liberty of movement should exist in regard to Indian cricket leagues".
