NEW DELHI: Keeping in mind the controversies which surfaced regarding the signing of domestic players for the IPL season this year, the BCCI is mulling bringing them into the auction pool in 2014.
This means all IPL cricketers will come under the hammer in a three-day affair instead of the existing two-day one.
Details of the mechanism are yet to be finalized, but sources said that domestic and IPL performances of these players in the next three years would be considered before listing them in different groups. Like other players in the competition, even uncapped players would get a base price in the auction.
Salaries of domestic cricketers have been pegged at Rs 30, 20 and 10 lakh according to seniority, which led to some dissatisfaction in leading domestic stars who wanted to bargain for better returns.
At the next auction now, they cannot bargain for more money and can't even arm-twist team owners to pay more. The players felt that if the top stars can bargain beyond their base price, they too can ask for much more unofficially. Now, they can't complain about missing out on big bucks.
IPL franchises have had skirmishes over uncapped players in the past, necessitating the move.
