IPL trading rules for dummies

Filed under: cricket, ipl — ipl08 @ 8:56 am

I think I just gave away my profession with the title?

I have tried to see what rules/guidelines that teams must follow for trading in Feb. I have not seen any links yet- so maybe Modi/owners/BCCI will make them up only now. If you know of any, please post them.

Strictly hypothetical situations (not something I want or expect especially the first one) -

  • Can Dhoni be traded to RCB (for Dravid and cash or for Kallis and 3 other players)?
  • Do they need consent of the players?
  • Can someone be poached? Example Marsh to KKR for extra money?
  • Can Watson renegotiate his contract with RR for more money?
  • Do the teams and players have to both consent?
  • Can a n-team trade happen- Example Dravid to Delhi, McGrath & Vettori to Mumbai and Uthappa to Bangalore?
  • If no one wishes to get a player, can they be released by paying cash? Does the salary cap become open then?
  • Now that many of the teams have brought in additional players for those who had to leave mid-season are they contracted for one year or three years?
  • How will the English players get in?
  • What about the under-19 players restriction. Since many of them will now be 20, does that change?

Who would be the most likely candidates to be traded and who will each team not let go at any cost? What would you like to see and what do you expect? Anyone can shed more light?

  1. well, i don’t have any comments for any of your questions, except that i really hope first point never happens, atleast for the next 2 years…

    I would like to see CSK get one current indian team bowler. Currently except Gony and to some extent, all other 4 are international bowlers. So i think there should be one current indian team bowler in CSK.

    And i am not sure whether there is any money left to really get one.

  2. IRFAN PATHAN IS TRAPPED IN A TEAM WITH STRONG BATTING LINE UP. HE HAD HARDLY ANY CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BATTING.ITS A WASTE. HE SHOULE MOVE TO CSK NEXT SEASON. THEY BADLY NEED AN INDIAN ALLROUNDER.

  3. Pathan is a good choice as a player, but too pricey at $925,000? Are any of the 6+ players who did not get a chance this year for CSK good bowlers who can developed in the next year?
