The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to reveal a novel incentive scheme for uncapped players at the forthcoming IPL auction, which is an unexpected development in the context of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This important project will reward players who earn caps for their nation in between IPL seasons.
A player is normally obligated to pay the league fee for a period of three years, or until the team that purchased them at the IPL auction releases them. On the other hand, in some circumstances, the league fee for an uncapped player may rise significantly. A player without a cap might quadruple in price if they play in 10 international matches in two IPL seasons.
The BCCI stressed the lack of minimum league price standards in a recent message outlining a fee regulation for uncapped players.
The main points of the regulation are as follows: if an uncapped player, whose league fee is less than Rs. 50 lakhs, becomes capped or gains five or ten caps between the end of one season and the beginning of the next, their league fee for that season and the ones that follow may increase significantly.
For example, the league price for a player with one cap would be Rs. 50 lakhs, Rs. 75 lakhs for five to nine caps, and Rs. one crore for ten caps or more. This fee structure will have an impact on the player’s new team’s salary cap if they trade for the player.
The BCCI has distinguished between players who are capped and uncapped to provide more clarity. An uncapped player is a player who has never played for an ICC Full Member in the starting XI or who does not have a Central Contract with their national cricket board. For IPL purposes, players from nations that are ICC Associate members are regarded as uncapped.
Dubai will host Mallika Sagar’s first-ever IPL auction.
Concurrently, the BCCI has verified an alteration in the auctioneer for the forthcoming Dubai event. The sale on December 19 will be conducted by independent professional auctioneer Ms. Mallika Sagar. She will be the only one to make decisions regarding every facet of the auction. Sagar, who succeeded former auctioneers Hugh Edmeades and Richard Madley, represents a change from overseas auctioneers.
“The auction will be conducted by an independent professional auctioneer, Ms. Mallika Sagar, who will serve as the exclusive arbiter regarding all auction-related matters,” the BCCI notified franchises, as reported by Cricbuzz.
