- Reports claim that IPL franchisees have made lucrative offers
- Like football, franchises will now be the main employer of players in cricket: a death blow to international cricket
London: It has been revealed in a media report that some of the franchise owners of IPL have given a greedy offer of 5 million pounds (about Rs. 51 crores) per year to the six star cricketers of England to retire from the international level and play for the franchise for the whole year. According to the report, several franchise owners with teams in different national leagues approached the six England players and asked them to consider annual contracts. If this happens, in the near future only cricket leagues will be in the limelight and international cricket will be marginalized.
Almost all the franchise owners of the IPL own different teams in the leagues of West Indies, South Africa, UAE and America. According to the report of England's Times of London, the owners of some franchises contacted at least six England players. There were some international stars too. He was asked whether he would like to make the IPL franchise his main employer instead of being the main salary earner of the England Cricket Board and English counties.
According to the report, various cricketers' unions are also discussing the implementation of the 12-month franchise agreement. If this happens then in cricket like in football the main contract of the players will remain with the franchise and they will release the player for international matches from time to time. Contract offers are also likely to start by the end of this year.
