Texan Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If they want to keep it as 8 teams, they could bring back one of CSK or RR and keep RPSG. Would be a gross injustice if they cannot play another season after a top performance this season. Goenkas deserve to have their own team. velu and New guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate_Game Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I say let both Pune & Gujarat continue along with re-instating Chennai & Rajasthan, and extend IPL by another 3 weeks New guy and velu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velu Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 having 9 teams is bit odd .. hoping for 10 teams .. with 8 teams , many of the potential players are not tested .. dont mind 12 teams divided into 2 groups as well , but quality of the teams will go down ..

kubrickian Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 All the players will go back into the auction to the best of my knowledge. None of these teams will exist as they are now from next IPL. So dont understand how it would be gross injustice to the team as there wont be the same team anyway. If Goenkas want the team to continue, they should likely bid to have a team because their contract is over by this IPL (again I'm not an IPL expert, so correct me if I'm wrong).

Weekdays can have 2 matches too just like weekends and can fit in existing schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 10 teams would be ideal with more matches packed into existing schedule. Some of the contract wording may have to be rewritten considering players would have to play more matches, but don't see any major issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 question is will Pune come back next year? Obviously fresh bidding will occur, if at all Pune comes it wont be RPSG but rather a diff Pune franchise team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can retain 2 players and buy few from auction if they come back next year. The essence of the team will be maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more gap else you will see injuries pile up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be overkill and cause fatigue for cricketers and audience as well. 90+ in 3 months sounds more reasonable. I dont think they have decided to expand beyond 8 teams for next IPL. They may invite bids for 2 more teams for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like currently, we are seeing too many games. Every weekend, we have 2 games every day (I think Fri, Sat, Sun). The same can just be extended to all the other days.

I6MTW Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If 10 team ipl accommodation is not possible then they should have a two tier league promotion relagation system. It will save the workload of players and the hectic schedule would reduce. Since Pune did well they will play ipl tier 1 and rcb and gl will play tier 2. This will accommodate csk and rr and will stick to the 8 team ipl in tier 1. Tier 2 can consist of two worst ipl teams and remaining small city franchises which nobody cares about.

BCCI should look to reduce bilateral ODIs and T20s as much as possible and give more importance to test cricket and World Cup and World T20, then you will have enough time for a 3 month IPL.
