Australian captain Ricky Ponting has urged cricket administrators to create space in the calendar for the Indian Premier League.

Ponting returned yesterday from his four-match stint with Kolkata and will join his Australian team mates in camp on Sunday to prepare for the West Indies tour.Ponting says the IPL has a place in the game.”They’d be silly if they didn’t put it on the calendar,” he said.

“I think there’s a real danger there that international players might just see the glitz and glamour of this event and not want to play international cricket anymore, which I don’t think would be great for the game, so I know that all the administrators around the world will looking into some way of finding a six week window for this tournament every season.”
