DomainK Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 PCB is so desperate. What happened to the security in India they questioned last time? Their players don't want to stay in the great safety of the peaceful place called Pakistan anymore? I hope no Pak player plays in IPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViruRulez Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 IPL owners to form association to safeguard interests MUMBAI: The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchisees are planning to come up with an association, as was planned last year. B Vanchi, who advises IPL team Delhi Daredevils on corporate strategy, told TOI: "The association will be formed soon. Everything is in place for that to happen. The reason for forming this association is to safeguard the interests of the franchises and help each other work better towards a common objective." Recently, the IPL franchisees got together in an effort to force BCCI to retain their contract with the IMG. The association will tackle similar issues in the future. BCCI wanted to discontinue the services of IMG but the franchisees stuck to their demand of having IMG on board because of their professional attitude. "The association will be functional before the 2010 edition of the tournament," Vanchi said. Twenty20 spinners beware The ICC rule for a beamer being declared a no ball in Twenty20 says: If the ball does not touch the ground in its flight between the wickets and reaches the batsman at a height above his waist when delivered by a fast bowler or the shoulder when delivered by a slow bowler, it’s a no ball. However, the new rule implemented by the IPL for use from the 2010 edition onwards says that "any ball bowled above waist height regardless of the speed will be declared a no-ball". IPL CEO Sundar Raman told TOI that "the technical committee had worked on this particular innovation before deciding to put into use". This will mean that bowlers like Harbhajan Singh, who have a tendency to toss the ball fuller at times while attempting to ‘york’ the batsman, will have to be more careful. "It is not a bowler’s game anymore. Just a batsman’s game," Muttiah Muralitharan told TOI when asked about this new rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViruRulez Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 IPL's plan to increase no. of matches to 94 receive criticism NEW DELHI: Indian Premier League’s formula of having more matches in the Season 4 has met with stiff resistance from some of its leading playersand officials. With a packed international cricket calendar and with the IPL contemplating increase in the matches from 54 to 94 more players are worried about their careers. Many international players have told Times Now they are worried of picking up injuries. Two new teams, four fielding substitutes instead of the lone 12th man, pink balls in practice matches and abolishing the Icon player status are some of the innovations which the IPL would embrace from its 2011 edition. From next year onwards, IPL would also be played under the supervision of the ICC Anti Corruption and Security Unit, while players who skip the tournament despite not having any national assignment might have their contracts terminated, organisers of the event said in a statement. The recent three-day franchisee workshop in Bangkok had threadbare discussions on player regulations, commercial aspects, logistics, hospitality, ticketing, licensing and merchandising. "I am certain now that we are poised to bring a significantly enhanced IPL experience back home to the Indian fans in Season 2010," IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi said. It has been decided that teams would be allowed four fielding substitutes, rather than the lone 12th man. Any ball bowled above waist height, regardless of the speed, will be declared a no-ball, while pink balls would be used in practice matches. Apart from availing ACSU service, IPL will follow the BCCI Anti-Doping policy for Season 2010. Another issue that the IPL Governing Council plans to take up is non-availability of players after signing of contracts. "Measures discussed revolved around the initiation of stringent action including termination of player contracts and barring from future participation in the IPL, of players that have signed contracts, but fail to make themselves available for playing in the IPL," the organisers said. "It was agreed that in the event any of the Member Boards not issuing an NOC to their players for participation in the IPL - on pretext of domestic engagements -- IPL could make a representation to the Governing Council of the Champions League for taking appropriate action against the members boards participation in the League," the organisers said. On the decision to expand the league, they said, "A discussion for the addition of two new franchises in Season 4 was held with the same being adopted with 7 of the 8 Franchises being in favour of increasing the number of Teams to 10." Among other things, it was finalised that trading of Players will be permitted between franchisees for the season 2010 onwards. Meanwhile, Pakistani players' participation will have to be confirmed by their Cricket Board through an NOC and clearance from their government. On January 19 next year, IPL would conduct an auction, adding new players into the league and a fresh purse of $750,000 will available to each franchisee. The League will also have a cap on the maximum players in a squad while all franchises agreed to do away with the Icon Player status. Abe I was getting bored with those number of matches. 94 matches is unbearable for me too. :nervous: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViruRulez Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 IPL team owners oppose re-auction of players in 2011 NEW DELHI: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is facing opposition from within over its decision to re-auction players after three editions in 2011. The IPL during its three-day workshop in Bangkok that concluded Monday took some important decisions, including the re-auction of all players for the fourth season. But some influential members of the Governing Council and team owners have opposed the move. The IPL management, however, feels that it would give a fair chance to the two new teams, which would be added in 2011. A team owner, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed his displeasure over the issue and said that the IPL Governing Council will have to review the issue again. IPL vice-chairman Niranjan Shah admitted that some team owners have opposed the move and the Governing Council is trying to take a middle-path. "New ideas have always faced opposition, but we are trying to take a middle path, so that the two new teams get a chance to buy some best players of the world. We hope to get an amicable solution soon," said Shah. Shah also hinted that players, who have continuously played for three seasons, are likely to be auctioned. Asked if team owners would like to let go marquee players like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar or Virender Sehwag, Shah said: "The Governing Council will be reviewing the move and we will find a solution acceptable to all parties." Among other decisions taken in the workshop, it was also decided that the 2011 edition would be played under the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit. The IPL will also follow the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Anti-Doping policy for 2010 season. The council decided that trading of players for the next season will start from Nov 23 and will end Jan 5. If Pakistani players want to participate, they would have to get a no-objection certificate from their government by Nov 20. The IPL will also conduct an auction Jan 19 in Mumbai for the third season and a fresh purse of $750,000 will available to each franchisee for the auction. All franchises also agreed to do away with the icon player status after the 2010 season. Frankly speaking I also oppose it to some extent. The team loyalties would reduce if the main players are changed. For example, CSK without Dhoni and Hayden, RR without Warne and DD without Veeru and Gauti sounds absurd. Hope that at least the main players are not re-auctioned. Just listened to Hayden's interview on TV and they were saying the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachinism Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 New teams need to be given a fair chance too. They can't be left with the leftovers. I don't think it will be necessary to re-auction all the players, I'm sure there will be some players who will want to leave their teams. Plus there are always new players coming along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sharma Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hayden himself said that he doesn't want to play for anyother franchise. :csk: New teams need to be given a fair chance too. They can't be left with the leftovers. I don't think it will be necessary to re-auction all the players' date=' I'm sure there will be some players who will want to leave their teams. Plus there are always new players coming along[/quote'] Yep, I agree. There are a lot of players who are just warming the bench...likes of Ntini, Langeveldt, Mills, VDM, Colly, Maharoof, Ryder, D Smith, etc They can be made available to the new teams plus offer first picks to them when the new recruits viz Pollard, Broad, M Clarke or Barath are put on auction.

Fontaine Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I really hope the IPL goes to 94 matches. That way even the feeble minded masses that call it cricket will get bored of it and the league will collapse from lack of revenue compared to the increased salary they will have to pay over the hill players for twice the amount of matches. One can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
