One of the BCCI's most debated decisions is not allow active Indian cricketers in overseas leagues. Retired Indian players though can play in overseas leagues.

The BCCI has been mulling a cooling-off period which would prevent players from joining overseas leagues right after their retirement.

However, no decision has been taken yet. A cooling-off period for retired Indian cricketers who want to play in overseas T20 leagues would be "uncomfortable and unfair", reckons former India international Robin Uthappa.

Uthappa, who retired from international and IPL cricket last year, was recently part of the T10 league in Zimbabwe. He also took part in the ILT20 in the UAE. "I think it is human nature to feel uncomfortable about it.
