IPL Auction

[Dogmatic]

There is a base payment and a match fee within the total. Play 1 game, they get base payment plus one match fee. Play all games they get the full contract value.

So the ones with 20k to their name they get sweet fa if they only play 1 game and 20k if they play all of them?
Seems paltry. Must be some other benefits.

That's what I'm curious about. As if you'd bother to leave your family behind and go and spend two months in India for a maximum of $20K?

I'd pay to go to India, soooo...yup!

I suppose it gives them exposure and the chance to earn more in the following season.

6 weeks work for $20k. Yeah, sounds terrible.

For a cricketer on $50k per year or less with their home state/province/territory, it's pretty valuable cash I'd have thought.

It does sound good.
Who picks up the tab for airfares and accomadation. Id be thinking the franchise would have team hotels paid for but dont know about flights

[smac]

Yes, the franchise picks up all expenses.

[Jim05]

Yes, the franchise picks up all expenses.

Gee where do i sign up?
All expenses paid holiday, have a 3 hour hit of cricket every couple of days and $20,000 in my pocket

Maximum of $20K and the reality is they might only play one or two games so who knows what percentage of that they get and they start training and playing practice games a good 2-3 weeks beforehand so ends up being a good two months.

Surprised Brian Lara didn't get picked up.
I know he's been retired for a while now, but I thought they'd be able to make a mint from someone of his calibre returning to cricket.

41 year old who has not played active cricket for 4 years and had a base price of the maximum (400k) Doesn't really surprise me too much.
