Many experts have mixed opinion about this format probably it is the last thing they recommend about cricket and hence as they are uncertain about its future.

IPL has entered into its fifth successful year and no doubt it has given a perfect platform for the youngsters to play with the best international players of different countries and learn from them , it can make any one hero overnight and can also take one to the astray. But choosing only this format can proved to be biggest mistake .As many youngsters are focusing on this format only, as short cut always attract every one but it cut short your career .Therefore it became very important for the players to give priority to the first class cricket if they want a extended career in cricket.

As if we analyze the international players who play IPLs then maximum of them, are either retired ,some are not currently in their international team ,those who are playing have proven themselves in all format of the game and obviously every member of current Indian is playing but there are some also who  put their country first .Well if we talk about the first category about the retired ones they have nothing to loose but have many thing to give to the youngsters ,if we  take the ones who are currently  not  in the team then they are focusing on first class cricket and IPLs to perform well and get their position back and the third one have nothing to prove they are just enjoying their game and their success and failure in IPL wont affect their stature and international career but talking about the untold category i.e. of the players who just play for IPLs and even ready to skip the first class cricket so as to not get injured what they are going to achieve out of this ,where are they all going ?? The one of that category should also decide their priority if they have to make career in cricket with domestic cricket first and then IPL .Of course playing IPL is not harm it has very positives associated with it but one should try to go in at least one of the recognized group having some purpose.

IPLs gives a international exposure to the domestic players and can prove to be great learning experience. With so man fomats introduced ,international cricket it can be rated now as Test Cricket>ODI Cricket>T-20>IPL and the domestic player which lie between  ODI and T-20 the players should decide their priority and try to go up in the order rather then going down the order.
