Giles Clarke, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, has made it clear that no centrally-contracted players will be allowed to take part in the IPL.

"I've heard so many people say that all the best players are in the world are there and you want to go and play in it," Vaughan told Sky Sports News. "So I think we're all naive if we don't think that England players are going to end up playing in the IPL."

He added: "I'm excited to see how it looks when it starts on Friday. I think there is going to be a lot of passion from the players who play and those watching in the stands.

"It is certainly looking like a very exciting spectacle. I've seen a few of the previews over in India with the adverts and the billboards, and it looks like it is going to be a big event.

"If there are big grounds, and there is a lot of money involved, you're going to want to play in it, and I think it will be sooner rather than later that we will see England players playing in the IPL."
