Reports suggest that, with 400 million of investment, the tournament would attract the very best players in the world.

Under current International Cricket Council rules, all new T20 leagues have a limit of four overseas players from Full Member nations.

If the tournament featured seven players who were either from Saudi Arabia or other Associate nations, then the standard would be nowhere near as high.

Backers suggest that the funds from the competition could be used to bankroll the Test format worldwide.
