Champions League : Taylor , Oram and Napier to play for IPL franchises?

[GGG]

IPL has first call on top Kiwis - cricket - sport | Stuff.co.nz

Not concerned about Napier as he was a ring in, but Oram and Taylor? Was sure last year that it was the players choice?

 

[Sir Alex]

IPL franchise reserves first right of call.

Oram has already been released by Csk I think.

Taylor will be retained by Brc.

Well that blows, guess like alot of sports the team with the most money wins.

 

[Jono]

I thought it was the player's call but if the player chose IPL they would compensate or something?

Or is this put in the player's contract, rather than a rule? If it's in the player's contract, not the IPL's fault. The player signs the thing.

Napier didn't even get close to playing a game for Mumbai. Think he left India a week or so before the IPL finished as well. No problem with Mumbai taking first dibs on players who represented them but as Napier has no chance of getting in their first eleven, then he should represent Central Districts.

Yeah, AWTA.

Unless Essex win the T20 Cup

TBH ..the counties get paid a lot if they lose a player to IPL...so not sure if they will be happier with the player choosing IPL or not...

Yes but you know they will keep him so he doesn't play for the opposition.

If he were such a player who had to be prevented from turning out for the opposition, he wouldn't have been released by them during the IPL.

How does that work!?? Unless it's a clause in their IPL contract, can't see how it'd be justifiable otherwise.

Edit: Never mind. Just read the article posted and saw that it is in their contract.

Taylor was interviewed about 2 months ago on breakfast radio in NZ and clearly stated that he wanted to play for CD above all other teams. It stinks if he has to play for a team which isn't his first choice.

 

[Athlai]

Hypothetically what happens if CD makes the finals and Bangalore doesn't can he change teams?

 

[Flem274*]

**** off Bangalore.

Is all this unbiased member has to say on the subject.

Napier may well play for Essex as the county season is still ongoing, he seems to feel a lot of loyalty to them.

 

[Cevno]

If the Ipl Franchisee chooses to retain the player ,they have to pay his other teams a big compensation fee.
So i don't think the other teams will be too unhappy about it.

 

[marc71178]

Surely any talk of Essex is irrelevant because of the stupid timing of the competition though?

If he really wanted to he wouldn't sign the Bangalore Royal Challengers contract.

 

[Howsie]

So why even show up, seriously? Yes I know each team gets a big pay packet for just making this thing but if you're going to lose your three best players I don't see the point of turning up tbh, it's hardly a champions league when three teams are just going to take the rest of the other teams best players available to them.

You mean the contract he signed at the start of 2008?
