“Participation in domestic matches is mandatory for players to remain eligible for selection in the national team and for central contracts, as per BCCI guidelines."
“Non-compliance may lead to disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the BCCI. Additionally, the BCCI reserves the right to take disciplinary action against a player, which may include (i) sanction against the concerned player from participating in all BCCI-conducted tournaments, including the Indian Premier League, and (ii) deducting from the retainer amount/match fees under the BCCI Player contract."
Haha. BCCI and their funny rules that no one cares about...
