For uncapped players who win international caps in
between IPL seasons, the BCCI is expected to reveal an incentive scheme at the
IPL auction.
Normally, a player who is purchased in the Indian
Premier League (IPL) auction must pay the league cost for the next three years,
or until his team releases him. In other cases, though, the price may increase
if an uncapped player is sold for at least Rs 50 lakh. In fact, an uncapped
player’s pay may quadruple if he plays in ten international matches in between
two IPL seasons.
There are no minimum League Fee regulations, according
to a fee regulation that the BCCI has distributed for uncapped players. But it
states this:
“(a) Prior to the start of any Season the League
Fee payable to any player who is uncapped is less than Rs. 50 Lakhs; and
“(b) Such player is then capped or achieves 5 or
10 Caps at any time during the period from the end of one Season up to the
start of the next Season
Then
“(c) the League Fee payable to such Player for
such next season and any subsequent season if such player’s contract is
extended by the relevant franchise shall be Rs. 50 Lakhs for so long as such
player has 1 Cap, Rs. 75 Lakhs for so long as such player has 5-9 Caps and Rs.
1 crore if the player has 10 Caps or more; and
“(d) if such player is subsequently traded then
prior to such trade his League Fee shall be deemed to be determined under
paragraph (c) above. It is clarified that for the purposes of calculating the
Salary Cap, if the player is traded, then any increase in a player’s League Fee
will apply to the new franchise’s Salary Cap. However, if the player remains
with the existing team, then such increase will not affect the Franchisee’s
Salary Cap and the Salary Cap will remain the same as it was before the increase
in Player’s League Fee.”
