Recession seems, to have gone, for a summer holiday, as IPL crescendo is about, to descend within a week’s time. When most of IPL franchises are touted, to break even within next year, it’s time for franchises to shed few dollars for their later harvest and shift of IPL to South Africa, has added few more.
Most of franchises are said, to be facing heavy shipping bills, owing to large commercial kits, which they have to export to South Africa. Each player travel kit alone includes around 60 to 70 kg and they are all set to incur around 1000 rupees extra, per kilogram carried.
Each franchise is said, to bear at least 2000 kilograms of commercial kits, which they require to be transported to South Africa. Last year they dint face any such problem, as the transportations charges were taken care by suppliers itself owing, to Indian context.
The fact that many Indian International Players will be directly leaving, to England for T 20 world cup, after end of IPL, has further aggravated the cost of franchise owners, as they have to, bear the expenses of their extra personal kits also.
On contrary for players its harvesting time, as their bank accounts are all set, to escalate after IPL. But for few players its missing opportunity, on valuable dollars; players like Brett Lee, Andrew Symonds, Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh, who have been called back, to Australian line up, for their series against Pakistan are the few , who are going to miss valuable dollars.
Brett Lee, who has been purchased for more than 900,000 dollars is all set to lose at least 100, 000 dollars because of Australian call up, whereas Andrew Symonds who was purchased for more than 1. 35 million dollars will be getting only about 1 million dollar, as he would miss initial part of IPL.
West Indies captain Chris Gayle, Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen are other casualties, who are going to lose dollars in a big way owing, to national duty and players cry for window for IPL, is quite obvious, which ICC hasn’t considered yet.
For B vanchi of GMR, owner of Delhi Dare devils, is happy at least pro- rata payments works in favour of franchise and they are not obliged to shell their extra dollars for players, who are absent owing to national duty but to be candid, it’s high time ICC introspects its stand on IPL for its better future as money do matters in the end.
