Ashwin has been bought by a team named Sydney Thunder. The amount they are receiving, it is considered one of the biggest foreign deal in the history of BBL.
Why is there so much difference in salary?
The total amount of Ashwin, BBL is usually more than the highest salary (Rs 2.45 crore). This is because the 8.88 crore rupees they are getting, it is not just a fee for playing. Marketing agreement with Sydney Thunders Club and Cricket Australia (That is, money to use their names for publicity) Money is also included. For this reason, Ashwin has become one of the most expensive players in the league.
Why does BCCI not want Indian players to play in the foreign league?
BCCI has a very strict rule. Under this, no Indian cricketer, who is currently playing international or domestic cricket, can play in Australia’s BBL, Caribbean’s CPL or England’s The Hundred in foreign T20 leagues. There are some major reasons behind this:
(A) Maintaining IPL number-1
This is the biggest reason. BCCI wants his own Indian Premier League (IPL) to remain the world’s most special and successful T20 league.
Special identity: BCCI believes that if our big players like Rohit Sharma or Jaspreet Bumrah start playing in the league around the world, then the IPL’s own special identity will end.
Impact on publicity: If our stars will appear in the league of other countries, then the number of people watching IPL and advertisements (sponsorship) it can be affected.
(B) Save your country’s cricket
BCCI gives great importance to its domestic cricket, especially the Ranji Trophy, which he considers the backbone of the country’s cricket system.
Importance of Ranji: Many foreign leagues occur exactly when the domestic cricket season is going on in India. If the players are allowed to play outside, they will leave the essential home tournament like Ranji Trophy. Former coaches like Rahul Dravid have also said that this will make our domestic cricket ‘end’ and Indian cricket does not reach the West Indies like.
Test cricket shield: BCCI believes that a strong Ranji Trophy prepares good players for Test cricket.
(C) Players rest and play for the country
The international match calendar of the Indian team is very busy.
Injury prevention: Playing in the foreign league will increase the burden on the players and increase the risk of injury. BCCI wants its players to be fit throughout the year and be available in every big tournament for the country’s team.
Why did the BCCI rule not apply to Ashwin?
This rule of BCCI applies only to the Indian players who are playing cricket right now. Players who retire from all types of cricket of India including International Cricket and IPL get ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) from the board. After this, one is allowed to play in the foreign league. The same has happened to Ravichandran Ashwin, he has decided to play in BBL only after retiring from IPL.
Bcci When did this rule make this rule
Bcci Rules made from the start of IPL in 2008. When BBL was being formed in 2010, Cricket Australia demanded BCCI to send Indian players, but the BCCI refused. The reason was that the IPL had to create the world’s number one league, where all foreign stars come. Today the value of IPL is more than Rs 1 lakh crore, and it has become very important for the Indian economy.
Women cricketers’ rules different: Indian women cricketers are allowed to play in foreign leagues such as WBBL or The Hundred, as women’s cricket is still developing and playing in another league gives Indian women cricketers experience.
Why better Bcci This rule of
This policy is good for Indian cricket lovers, because it keeps the national team strong and performs well in a tournament like World Cup. But some experts say that this is deprived of the new experience.
