Exclusive Arun Dhumal interview: ‘Idea is to give equal opportunities to all franchises’

Arun Dhumal: The thought was to springiness adjacent opportunities to each franchises. Suppose if a franchise has a precise bully squad and wants to clasp them, past those players connected an mean person the aforesaid benignant of value. It can’t beryllium the champion subordinate gets Rs 18 crore and the 5th subordinate the squad wants to clasp would beryllium Rs 5-6 crore. In an perfect situation, franchises whitethorn connection 2 oregon 3 retentions truthful that a bigger excavation of players is disposable for the auction, truthful that they tin get the close worth successful the auction. Auction is the champion spot to find the value, if they person not been portion of that process, if they are retained, they volition get what the champion players are getting.

It is the archetypal clip the IPL has introduced lucifer fees of 7.5 lakh per IPL game?

Arun Dhumal: We person seen successful the past seasons that astatine times players get picked for a smaller magnitude but erstwhile helium gets an opportunity, helium performs exceedingly good and continues to play the full tournament. For specified a player, it makes consciousness that adjacent if they get picked for a lesser magnitude during the auction, they get a respectable amount. So the thought is to deduce the maximum payment to our players, who are the astir important stakeholders of this league.

Will this assistance uncapped players similar Shashank Singh and others?

Arun Dhumal: Any uncapped subordinate who makes it to the tournament, who gets this level and gives his best, and continues to play the tourney should get the maximum value.

Will this besides assistance the BCCI to curb the contented of players who are retiring aboriginal truthful that they tin play different leagues?

Arun Dhumal: Definitely. When they get the accidental and springiness their best, they should beryllium rewarded, that is the idea.

What was the request to enactment a headdress connected overseas players particularly those who enactment their sanction successful auction and successful the extremity determine to skip IPL? IPL has enactment a prohibition of 2 years?

Arun Dhumal: It has travel to our reflection that astatine times players are not making themselves disposable for bigger auctions but are coming astatine the smaller auction truthful that they tin get a amended value.

We wanted to marque definite that those who are making themselves disposable for a large auction are not astatine the receiving end. In lawsuit they are picked astatine the auction but someway incapable to marque themselves available, they volition person to springiness valid reasons. It is not due to the fact that they are portion of the auction, they get picked up for an magnitude and past they garbage to play. The thought is due to the fact that the franchise owners and the squad are moving successful item to marque a champion squad disposable for the tourney and each subordinate plays an important relation successful immoderate presumption helium has been picked for. In lawsuit helium is not making himself available, that volition enactment the full squad successful jeopardy.

It is simply a squad crippled astatine the extremity of the day. So the thought is they request to amusement their 100 percent commitment. If they person said that I would beryllium disposable past they person to beryllium available. Otherwise, it has to beryllium a aesculapian reason, wherever the location committee should besides springiness successful penning that it is simply a valid aesculapian information due to the fact that of which the subordinate is incapable to join.

Why has the BCCI kept Rs 18 crore maximum interest headdress for overseas players astatine tiny auction?

Arun Dhumal: If a subordinate has been picked up astatine a higher worth vis-a-vis Rs 18 crore per-say, the subordinate gets lone Rs 18 crore and the remainder of the magnitude volition travel backmost to the league to the BCCI and would beryllium utilised for players welfare. The thought is to marque the maximum fig of players disposable astatine the bigger auction due to the fact that that is erstwhile the franchises tin program a squad for 3 years successful advance.

What was the crushed for retaining interaction subordinate rule?

Arun Dhumal: Impact players person added worth to the tournament. If you spot the past season, the scores we had were phenomenal compared to the erstwhile season. The thought is to springiness a level to an further batter oregon a bowler, truthful that they tin execute with their skillset. One statement was the all-rounders are missing out. But if you look astatine it closely, each the apical people all-rounders were ne'er near out. Be it Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja) oregon (Sunil) Narine, beryllium it anyone. If an all-rounder wants to find a place, helium has to rise the barroom arsenic an all-rounder.

So we tin spot MS Dhoni successful the uncapped category?

Arun Dhumal: Player similar MS Dhoni, it is immaterial whether helium is uncapped oregon capped. He would anyhow beryllium the archetypal people for immoderate franchise.
