South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who is playing for the Bangalore Royal Challengers in the Indian Premier League, believes that both IPL and ICL (rebel league) will be beneficial for Indian cricket. He also said the Twenty20 is the future for world cricket.

"The IPL and (rebel) ICL will turn out (to be) immensely beneficial for Indian cricket. It's giving their younger players, some of whom have yet to establish themselves in even domestic cricket, a chance to rub shoulders with icons of the game in dressing rooms. It's an immense advantage. If this had happened when I was younger I would have benefitted immensely," Kallis was quoted as saying to Times of India.

"The crowds have been very good," Kallis said, adding:"I think T20 is the future of cricket. At three hours, it's even shorter than a baseball game. But I honestly don't know how long the One-day format will survive."
