Perhaps. But it would be more akin to the building of regional leagues to the County Championship a 150 years ago in my mind. The Hundred/T20 Blast are the premier national league a la the IPL. These state leagues are the feeder leagues for the IPL in some sense, and are fostering a sense of regional pride in cricket
Interesting piece from Abhinav Mukund wrt State T20 leagues in India.
Relevant for TheHundred in England, perhaps, and ongoing support for the T20 Blast?
