New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) management has decided to re-auction players after three editions. However, they are facing displeasure and opposition from IPL team owners and within over this decision.
Two new teams will be added in 2011 and hence this decision of re-auctioning, would give a fair chance to the new teams, feels the IPL management. IPL vice-chairman Niranjan Shah also hinted that players, who have continuously played for three seasons, are likely to be auctioned.
He admitted that some team owners have opposed the move and the Governing Council is trying to take a middle-path.
“New ideas have always faced opposition, but we are trying to take a middle path, so that the two new teams get a chance to buy some best players of the world. We hope to get an amicable solution soon,” said Shah.
The council decided that trading of players for the next season will start from Nov 23 and will end Jan 5.
