I thought 5 INT / team was a good idea b.c when IPL started international viewers were very annoyed by the 4 INT players rule, as they didn't want to watch crappy Indian domestic players. This 5 INT rule will keep the foreigners interested.
But it's not like the teams are forced to play 5 INT players. If they thought the young BD players are good enough to win them games, they would start all of them.
BPL is first and foremost for entertainment and money (just like any other PLs). This is not a talent hunt program or a academy to groom young talents. This is a T20 league for crying out loud!
I am glad BPL was less self-centered unlike IPL.
