| Companies mate. It has been made to revive the corporate interest in the game. It is a replacement for the domestic 50 over competition i.e. the Duleep Trophy. |

Well this is what happens when you make another domestic 2020 tournament which captures all the attention of the corporate folk. IPL isn't exactly doing great things for the quality and value of Indian cricket that's for sure.

You could say so milks. The Duleep Trophy has been one of the oldes domestic tournaments in Indian cricket and it was removed to make space for the IPL. Lets see how this Corporate Cup goes. |
