IPLIPL

The much-awaited Board of Cricket Control for India and IPL franchise meeting has finally concluded after three long hours. Numerous issues from player retention, impact player rule to RTM were all discussed on during the important meeting on July 31st in Mumbai.

Some highlights from the meeting reveal that SRK had a verbal spat with PBKS owner Ness Wadia who was against too many retentions. Moreover, Parth Jindal expressed his aversion from Impact player rule.

Here's what BCCI's official statement revealed:

The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Wednesday organized a constructive dialogue with the owners of the 10 franchises on various subjects pertaining to the upcoming season of the TATA IPL.

The franchise owners tabled feedback on player regulations and other commercial aspects, including central merchandising, licensing, and gaming.

The BCCI will now take these recommendations to the IPL Governing Council for further deliberation and evaluation before formulating the IPL player regulations.

Teams are not likely to be allowed to retain more than five players with one Right to Match (RTM) card. The RTM card gives a franchise the opportunity to match the final bid of a player from their squad of the previous season.

The BCCI secretary later confirmed to the media that the board will be taking its decisions soon on all the points that were discussed.

Among the team owners or co-owners who attended the meeting were Shah Rukh Khan from Kolkata Knight Riders, Kavya Maran from Sunrisers Hyderabad, Ness Wadia from Punjab Kings, Sanjiv Goenka with his son Shashwat from Lucknow Super Giants, KK Grand and Parth Jindal from Delhi Capitals.

Manoj Badale and Ranjit Barthakur from Rajasthan Royals, Prathamesh Mishra from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kasi Viswanathan and Rupa Gurunath from Chennai Super Kings, Amit Soni from Gujarat Titans while Mumbai Indians' owners attended it online.

Wadia and SRK had a heated debate on the issue of whether to have a mega auction or not.

However, Parth Jindal, the director of JSW Sports which owns the Delhi Capitals, said there was "no real outcome" from the meeting as the teams looked to stick to their opinions on all the matters discussed.
