Deal with Players Directly – says IPL

 

The IPL has asked its franchises to directly deal with the concerned players instead of going through the player agents. This new rule has been brought about because the IPL had received many complaints about agents promising many cricketers from the various countries in the world about an IPL berth.

Another reason that experts put forward is the fact that many of the ICL players have rejoined the main fold and this has caused many contracts to be negotiated between these players’ agents and the franchise. The BCCI had set a limit of Rs.8-20 lakh for these ICL players, but it has been said that the rule may have been violated.

There have been complaints to the effect of the agents signing up upcoming cricketers for the IPL, but not in the prescribed format of the contract which has been specified by the IPL. The IPL has now asked the franchises to re-register all the players’ contracts and also make it known to the governing council of all their signings in the recent times, by the 25th of August.

The IPL has then said that they “will then update the player registry and publish a finalised list of registered players with the league on August 27”
