The Indian Premier League (IPL) has introduced a new law against foreign cricketers who did not play in the league after drafting.
The IPL Governing Council has introduced new regulations under which foreign cricketers will come under the radar. Draft cricketers will not be able to leave the League without providing a valid reason.
This move aims to protect the interests of the League’s franchises so that they are protected from losses. During several meetings, franchise owners expressed concerns that foreign players would leave the League in batches, causing losses to the franchise.
According to the newly released IPL rules, any foreign player who registers for the auction and, after being selected in the auction, does not make himself available before the start of the season will face a two-year ban under this law.
