Analysis: It’s within the BCCI’s power to oversee a salary explosion that could relegate international cricket to an IPL farm system | SMHsport
It is within the BCCI’s power to oversee an IPL salary explosion that would relegate international cricket to the margins.
This year’s cap was set at US$11.9 million [$17.1 million] for each club, roughly 14 per cent of the worth of the previous rights deal, but a percentage increase for the new rights deal might see it swell to something closer to US$37.5 million [$53.9 million] per year. Such a ratio would ask fresh questions of players, agents and member boards, leaving all to negotiate and compromise with cricketers over their availability.Much has been made of the fact that as a result of the deal, the IPL broadcast rights are now worth more on a per-game basis than those for the English Premier League.
But the truth remains that, if it were to fall into line with other properties of similar global merit, the IPL would be paying its players the sorts of amounts that would make it impossible for many to justify prioritising international cricket.
