Former Australia captain Adam Gilchrist has asked why are Indian cricketers are not allowed to play in T20 Leagues in other countries.

"I am not criticising the IPL, but why won`t Indian players come and play in the Big Bash league? I`ve never had an open and honest answer. Why are some leagues accessing every player in the world? No Indian player plays in any other T20 league. I am not saying it in a provocative sense, but is that a fair question,” Gilchrist asked during a media interaction at Mumbai Cricket Association`s Bandra-Kurla complex indoor academy on Thursday.
