Default Impact of IPL on Bangladesh Cricket

As it appears, IPL is all over. The stars are shining with their bats/wickets and crowds are enjoying the mega-hit. Existing and past ( rightly called) stars are propelling the cricket of India and will be creating more players. But what about Bangladeshi players absence in these mega-leagues? None of our players deserves to be in the final eleven as the international stars as the gaps are pretty evident...

I think the impact of IPL/ICL will be that in the future ODI's will create more excitements..more runs and more strategic ploys. Current IPL players will play with more confidence as they have been playing with and against all these international stars, had to play with all they got and got rewarded or punished. Future players of India will benefit of playing against McGrath/Pointing/Pollock/Sangakkara... But Bangladeshi players missed out the action and may be even behind temperment and strategies in future shorter version of crickets. Yes, most of the players probably have been watching the games and regretting their inconsistencies but being out of the "real" action will create something that we need to think about. It would be unwise to get into bashing Indian cricket or thinking of Bangladesh Cricket to be sufficient with 2nd grade Pakistani players,,, we need to think how do we get our players into having the nerves to finish games, get clean hits, play strategically and be mentally tough to overcome future 350 plus scores against us ( and get rid of the mindset of scoring 240 will give us a win like ridiculous fantasy)
