Kohli,sharma, rahane have suggested to BCCI and COA that key pacers such as bumrah and bhuvi should skip ipl this year and be compensated for it. No mention of batsmen or spinners. BCCI is mulling. Franchises such as Mumbai Indians might lose bumrah and pandya.

 

Thoughts?

Good call

Will be good if implemented. My guess is they will allow them to play the first half of the tournament and fix a cut off date to take the bowlers to rehab/training.

And who is going to compensate franchises? Is this guy for real? IPL is as close to World cup in terms of popularity and these phuckers should just do what they are told.

IPL will still have the same viewership even if they rest a couple of bowlers

But franchises will lose out on top players. In a 4-year cycle, ICC conducts 3-4 tournaments and IPL shouldn't lose out on players each and every time, especially Indian players who are the main attraction of the tournament.

Why not Kohli take rest? What if he gets injured? This guy acts as if he is BCCI.

Maybe he thinks resting Bumrah and Bhuvi gives RCB a chance to win the IPL

How about key batsmen? We all know our batsmen wins us games more often than not.

Partial sanity prevails

But BCCI has to prioritise 50 over wc,don't care really about T20 wc(that too happens once in 2years)

Infact there are many players in pipeline waiting for their chance once there are places up for grabs in shortest format not sure about 50 over format

Even I don't care about IPL. But how can the players set the rules here? Shouldn't it be franchise owners as they spend a lot of money. Lately, there's been demand-after-demand by Kohli, with no performance to back it up. 

[ipl is fun]

it does not make sense.  Why not look at IPL to be bowling practice for Buvi and Bumrah

 

The same logic holds good for Virat. who is making 17+Cr.. He know BCCI is not as stupid as RCB to compensate if he was asked to sit out.

Chalo.. At least talking some sense now after 'quit India movement'

Give him all time ipl xi and he will still loose.

[Global.Baba]

Agree with Kohli to some extent

 

A) what who will compensate the $$$? 

 

B) Cricketers especially the ones from the SC are very insecure, what if a young upcoming  Indian seamer has an outstanding IPL? Already guys like Umesh Yadav and Shami are on notice.

 

These suggestions sound amazing on paper but not always practical

Or play them in IPL compensate for the WC.

Postpone the IPL to August / September... Anyway it's off-season for Australia & SA,
