The IPL governing council met on Wednesday to discuss various issues related to the termination of cash-strapped Deccan Chargers and matters regarding to its new franchise for which tenders have been floated.
The committee which met at the BCCI headquarters discussed in-depth the legal ramifications of the Deccan Chargers termination and about the future of nearly 30 cricketers [foreign and Indian] who have been left without a team due to this decision. The BCCI top brass was tightlipped on the outcome of the meeting nor were there any official media release providing details. BCCI will divulge their future course of action regarding the sixth edition of the IPL only after the Bombay High Court verdict comes out.
The interesting aspect will be how the parent body absorbs these players in IPL teams or the new team that will be playing next season. There are a couple of possibilities one among which is increasing the number of players per team from 30 to 35 and then ask the existing franchises to buy out the remaining part of the contract. The second possibility is to transfer all existing DC players to the newly formed franchisee where there is a chance that they might ask for players of their choice.
