The upcoming meeting between the BCCI and IPL franchise owners is set to be a crucial one, with the issue of foreign players’ commitment to the league taking center stage.
Franchises are increasingly frustrated with players who back out of the IPL after being bought at the auction, citing various reasons that often lack credibility. Instances of players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales, and Wanindu Hasaranga pulling out have caused significant disruption to team planning.
To address this issue, franchises are demanding stricter measures, including potential bans for players who repeatedly withdraw without valid reasons. The BCCI is expected to discuss this matter seriously and explore possible solutions.
Another point of contention is the scheduling of international matches during the IPL. The ECB’s decision to recall players for bilateral series during the playoffs has angered franchises. The BCCI is likely to address this issue with the ECB to avoid similar situations in the future.
Furthermore, franchises are seeking more autonomy in player management, including decisions regarding performance-based pay. The BCCI is expected to consider these requests as well.
Do you think the BCCI will take strong action against players who consistently pull out of the IPL?
