The original master blaster said there was nothing wrong in bringing a lot of money to the game as it would be beneficial for the players.
"If it can be arranged I don't think anything would be wrong with that. Others, establishment-wise, see these things sometimes as threatening but I think it must be discussed," Richards was quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"We have long complained about the finances in cricket. I think it's great for those guys, now that they know financially they can secure their future," he said.
Richards, one of 14 legends on the payroll of Texan billionaire Sir Allen Stanford and a board member and ambassador for Stanford 2020 in the Caribbean, said with its money power IPL would help Twenty20 cricket grow bigger.
"The sort of money that was attached to cricket did run a lot of people away to try other careers, but now that we have the perks there will be a lot more cricketers trying to hit that jackpot. So long as the Indians are going to be on board with the mass audience and power they have in world cricket, it is a great endorsement for the Twenty20 form to go further."
A big fan of Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, Richards said players of his calibre would enhance the glamour of IPL.
"I am a great fan of Andrew Symonds, his fielding and the way in which he plays his cricket, with that sort of aggression. Having people like that on board is certainly going to add to the IPL razzmatazz," he said.

Ratingpange good playpanjab win the match
Sir, the comments by Sir Richards were good enough for cricket but we should also think about the investment in other sports played in india. Iwant to ask SRK and Vijay Mallaya if they would invest the same in Hockey,Basket Ball and Football,,,,,the possible answer would be NO.

IPL is a great cricket tamasha being organized by the glamour of wealth and the merchants of hoax who are keen to decimate the structure of the very cricket in India . The likes of Lalit Modi has been around for quite sometime sniffing the aroma of bulging money and the opportunity to seek some booty in the drama of loot and plunder . Money is what that matters and the glamour is that what prevails and the backstage players are busy counting the golden goose before they are delivered . The cricketrs belly is swelling at alarming pace and Motera is a confirmation of it . Who is interested in playing test cricket as IPL is the ghost soon they would be chasing to crack the proverbial sim -sim and walk away with something unseen.
i am 21 Years old,i am playing cricket as a Allrounder so sir plz give me one changes to prove my self.
