Having joined the Indian Premier League (IPL) post-retirement, former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath now wants to explore other business opportunities there.

Like fellow Aussie Brett Lee, McGrath realises India is the biggest market for cricketer and the pacer has no qualms in admitting that IPL would give him the opportunity to look at those options.

“I’m keen to be involved in it and whether that’s playing or whatever, we’ll see what happens,” McGrath said.

“The Indian market is a big market for cricketers and ex-cricketers. We were going to spend a bit of time over there anyway.”

In India, McGrath also sees a potential market for many of the Aussie state players who can join franchises of their choice.

“Theoretically you could have Ricky Ponting playing for Mumbai against Sachin Tendulkar playing for New South Wales,” he said.

McGrath may have taken the Twenty20 plunge but the former Australian spearhead made it clear that he does not want the slam-bang format to overshadow other versions of the games.

“Hopefully there is room for all three forms of the game but we’ll wait and see. Hopefully the cricketers will continue playing Test cricket and one-day cricket.”
