deepak_sach Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 A news showed breaking news that BCCI has not allowed its players to the SLPL as SLPL is owned by a private singapore company and not by SLCB...There might also be some frictions between the boards for not letting SL players play IPL.SO WE MIGHT NOT SEE MANY OF THESE PLAYERS PLAY more TONTEE TONTEE////////
Sir_Afridi Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 The 12 Indian cricketers who wanted to participate in the Sri Lanka Premier League have been told by the BCCI to not play in the tournament. http://www.espncricinfo.com/srilanka/content/current/story/519526.html
Cricket Tragic Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 All our B grade players. No Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dhoni etc. Compare that to the Pakis whose main players are lining up with begging bowls for a few grand. Retard is so desperate that he retired and then got himself banned to play this crap.
jairamesh Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Idiots will come up with "who needs Indian players?"...well the truth is, Reality needs Indian players. Bottom line is without the Indian players it holds no interest from the Indian audience. Hence, hahaha:haha:, there goes any hope of decent marketing ad revenues from the Indian market. There is now I believe 75% probability that private organizers and SLC will pull the plug on the tournament. Because TV rights were probably sold on condition Indian players participating, and there is already rumors it will cost SLC more to host the tournament then what they are receiving (source: http://print.dailymirror.lk/sports/128-local/46626.html). I had mentioned this before in the SLPL thread, that the SLC will be taken for ride due to naivety and chest thumping from their Board Members by this private group based in SL. So it's understandable for BCCI's concerns as what happens if the Indian players don't get paid as SLC are not held responsible for their contracts, and this SLPL is on already on shaky financial ground.
1983-2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 No Indians in SLPL, says BCCI The 12 Indian cricketers who wanted to participate in the Sri Lanka Premier League have been told by the BCCI to not play in the tournament. The directive comes after the players had asked the BCCI for No-Objection Certificates to play in the two-week long Twenty20 competition, starting on July 19. The SLPL will be run by a Singapore-based private company, Somerset Entertainment Ventures, which will issue the player contracts, something the Indian board believes could lead to complications for the players should disputes arise. The decision, the BCCI said, was taken to protect the players from finding themselves in a tricky situation. "In the IPL the players are contracted by the BCCI, but the SLPL is offering contracts with the event management company," a BCCI official, who attended the tours and fixtures committee meeting on Saturday at which the decision was taken, said. "So, if there is any goof-up, Sri Lanka Cricket cannot be held accountable. As a result, the board [bCCI] would not like to take any chances." Praveen Kumar, Munaf Patel, Irfan Pathan, Dinesh Karthik, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Manoj Tiwary, Saurabh Tiwary, Umesh Yadav, Vinay Kumar, Manish Pandey and Paul Valthaty, reportedly, are the 12 Indians who had shown interest in playing the SLPL. The BCCI had earlier stated it had no problems with the proposed league and that Indian players are free to take part, as long as there is no conflict with India's international or domestic schedule. The BCCI official also said the decision to prevent Indian participation in the league had nothing to do with the pressure applied by the SLC and the Sri Lankan Sports ministry in April and May to recall top Sri Lankan players participating in the IPL, ahead of Sri Lanka's England tour. Reportedly, the SLC top brass were caught unawares by the Indian board's decision and called for an emergency committee meeting to discuss it. No SLC official was available for comment. The SLPL will be played between July 19 and August 4 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Several foreign players including Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Shahid Afridi, Daniel Vettori, Kevin O'Brien and Herschelle Gibbs have already been signed for the tournament. Stupid decision by BCCI but I understand the reasons given by BCCI. "In the IPL the players are contracted by the BCCI, but the SLPL is offering contracts with the event management company,So, if there is any goof-up, Sri Lanka Cricket cannot be held accountable. As a result, the board [bCCI] would not like to take any chances."
Pagalpanti Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Good decision. BCCI is well organized in these matters.
jairamesh Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 just bumping this, after someone started a similar thread.:headshake:
ensd2 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Why these guy want to plays SPL ? They all earn more than 1000 000 $ in IPL , so 30 000$ is peanuts
saneindian Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I suspect Lalit Modi angle has made the board take a u-turn.
deepak_sach Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Read Somewhere that Malinga,Sangakkara,jaywardene are going to SAY NO NO :wink2: to SL Contract//////
Zap_Brannigan Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Why these guy want to plays SPL ? They all earn more than 1000 000 $ in IPL ' date=' so 30 000$ is peanuts[/quote'] Just because they earn millions in IPL, it doesnt make 30,000 $ small. Most of the players who were gonna play do not have multi-million ad dollars and their current IPL big money is only for 3 years. A players career is very short and its up to them to earn 30,000 $ for just 2 weeks work. Also players like Ashwin and tiwary were earning only 30,000$ in the 1st 3 IPL seasons.
asterix Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Fake posturing by BCCI. Everything will be "sorted" soon.. BTW SLBC offfilical has said that all the teams belong to the SLBC and only the marketing rights given to the Singapore company just like BCCI has tie up with DLF etc. for IPL.
Misu243 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 BCCI is just scaring Sri Lanka cricket board here as a reply to what happened in IPL 4 with their players leaving early. It's only a two week or so tournament. T20 tournament would be incomplete without Indian players.
Zap_Brannigan Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 BCCI just noticed that the cheques were signed by Somerset and hence if anything were to happen, Somerset were responsible and not SLCB. This is very fair. Since, for all purposes, SLCB has sold the rights to Somerset for the next few years, this resembles a private tournament and BCCI is against all private tournaments. Besides that BCCI might also be petty enough to stoop to the Sri lankans level and do unto them what they tried to pull during IPL 4.
