IPL Franchises will now Ban Foreign Players who Bail Out for No Valid Reason- Report

After the process of the auction, a foreign player pulling out of the IPL puts a massive headache to the franchise he belongs to. The franchises put a lot of effort in making the team, hence it is notable understandable that bailing out done by any player affects the system of the whole team. A lot of overseas players, including Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Jason Roy, have previously bailed out of an IPL. Though some of them had reasons that were justifiable for their absence, others have failed to provide any valid reason for their absence.

As per a Cricbuzz report, the franchises have requested the BCCI to take action against such foreign players who bail out of the event without any valid reasons. Some franchises even went on to suggest the Board to ban such players.

“In their one-on-one meetings with the BCCI CEO recently, franchises officials have sought actions against truant players who have withdrawn without valid reasons, with some even suggesting bans for these unreliable players,” said the report.

In between all this, a PTI report states that the purse value of franchises is likely increased between 20-25%.

“I think that (increase of purse) is happening for sure. The standard increase should be anywhere between 20 to 25 percent and hence anything in the range of Rs 120 crore to 125 crore will be a fair deal. Most franchises would agree to it,” one of official in the IPL franchises said on conditions of anonymity.

The bigger issue, however, is with the retention of players. It could be difficult to reach a common ground as different teams have different requirements.
