PSL New Cricket Team 2021
Last month, Maximilian Hoppe and I had an interesting discussion on which teams from the lower leagues were a strong possibility to get promoted and which teams were considered a long shot. At that time we thought of each league represented five teams and considered them as a five-team league.
However, teams are coming in from the lower leagues at a rapid pace. Now, the 10 teams in the top five leagues alone will get their quota of teams, so it is probable that only four teams will come from the 1. Liga and two teams will be promoted from the 2. Liga (even with the bad situation the 2. Liga has right now, four teams wouldn't be much to cheer about). In case a team comes from the 2. Liga, the 6th and 7th teams in the Bundesliga will probably take their quota.
That means that only three teams from the 2. Liga will get promoted (the other two teams, who were directly promoted, would have taken the quota of 6th and 7th teams). That means that it is possible for the psl to have five teams in the next season.
The psl would then have 16 teams (the biggest number in the league's history). The number would be 17, if the 3rd best team in the 2. Liga takes its quota. With the introduction of one team, the 3rd best team in the 2. Liga would no longer have to be promoted. Also, we are getting more and more information regarding 2021 that suggests a new divisional system with four divisions, so if the psl comes back in 2021, it could see a few of its clubs going to the 2. Liga.
The psl would then be of a bigger size and teams like Anderlecht, Kaiserslautern, Cologne or Wolfsburg, currently representing the 3rd division of the psl, would get a chance to play in the top division. If the psl comes back, they would have a good chance of playing in the 1. Bundesliga as well.
Will this be good for the German national team?
Yes. It is good for the Bundesliga, it is good for the football in Germany, it is good for football in Europe and, most importantly, it is good for football in general.
Right now, clubs from the psl play in a league with a playoff, whereas teams from the Bundesliga play in a league with a lot of rest (the Bundesliga already has a lot of rest, whereas the psl has no rest). If a team from the Bundesliga plays in the psl and gets promoted, the one that is relegated from the Bundesliga gets a lot of rest, while teams like Dortmund, Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg will have to play in a league with a lot of rest. For the next season, the teams from the 2. Liga would have to play more matches and less games, so they won't have to rest as much.
The 1. Bundesliga would have a small chance of getting promoted in a similar way (it would lose a few teams and still be at least 11, maybe 12 teams), but a team like Eintracht Braunschweig would get a small chance of playing in the Bundesliga in a bigger league.
Right now, teams from the psl play in a league with one or two teams relegated from the Bundesliga. In 2021, the Bundesliga would have two teams that would get relegated (if the Bundesliga was of 16 teams in 2021, that would make it an even bigger league). That means, if two or three teams from the psl get promoted (as they will if the psl comes back in 2021) then the Bundesliga would have three teams that get relegated (because, as we saw, teams from the 2. Liga play in a league with one or two teams relegated). That would give six teams that get relegated in a big league the chance to play in the Bundesliga in 2021, whereas the Bundesliga would only have five teams that got relegated.
If the Bundesliga would have three or four teams that get relegated, then every team would have a chance to get promoted in the next season, so a team would be able to play in the Bundesliga in 2021. The Bundesliga could lose teams from the 2. Bundesliga but, thanks to the rest system in place, they would be able to get back one of those teams in the next season. That
