In fact, Lawrence Booth tweeted on social media criticizing the IPL schedule. He wrote that the IPL schedule completes one-sixth of the cricketing calendar (about two months). To this, Ashwin responded by saying that the football tournament English Premier League lasts for 6 months. Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that Lawrence Booth tweeted about the IPL schedule. He said that this tournament takes one-sixth of a year (sixth part). There is also the English Premier League. It lasts for a full six months. However, in this, the players get some time between the two matches. They play one or two matches a week. 

Ashwin further said that of course, it is difficult to reach that level of cricket (football) right now. There are also many types of question marks on it. But, the IPL is a league that has the full potential to take cricket to that level. All cricket fans, spectators, cricket playing countries and stakeholders already know this. Due to this IPL, the rest of the format of international cricket or the world event can also be shortened.
