The Governing Council of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has proposed a salary cap of Rs 60 crores for the IPL 7 auction. It is almost equivalent of the upper limit for IPL 6 which was $12.5 millions. The franchises will not have to spend the entire amount but they can't go beyond that.
Concurrently, it was also proposed that there would be a five per cent increase every year. The franchises, thus, will know what can be their spend on the players each year.
The proposals were put before the franchise workshop in Singapore on Friday. There was no explicit effort to build a consensus over the salary cap but that has never been the IPL's policy anyway. The teams were just informed about the number.
Reservations
A few teams have privately expressed reservation over the high figure but they could not force a change. It is an established norm that the policies of the league have always been for the deep pockets. Teams like Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians will benefit from the decisions. That is a different matter though.
The IPL player fee will be independent of the Champions League's earnings. If a team qualifies for the CLT20, the players will be eligible for extra money - their income being something calculated on a pro rata basis depending on the number of matches they play in the Champions League.
As briefly mentioned in these columns on Friday, the teams will be permitted to go for retention up to five players. How many of those can be foreigners and uncapped players has not been finalised. The IPL will come up with a concrete proposal to this effect soon.
The teams were told that IPL 7 will be held in April-May, and efforts will be taken to host the entire league in India despite the inevitable clash of dates with the general election.
Maximum matches in India
The teams were told that efforts will be made to hold maximum matches in India and then go to an offshore venue if required. There was no mention of any overseas venue. The plan will be clear after the announcement of the election dates.
Ravi Savani, the chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU), made a presentation about the code of conduct for the players and the teams but that was more or less on the expected lines, particularly after the revelations of spot fixing during IPL 6.
