IPL 2024 Auction: BCCI To Give Incentive To Uncapped Players If They Play International Games - Reports

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to announce incentive plans for uncapped players who will be representing their nations in between the two Indian Premier League (IPL) seasons. The reports in Cricbuzz revealed the development ahead of the 2024 auction.

Earlier, if an uncapped player was brought at auction then he was bound to play at the same salary for the next three years or until he is released by the franchise. However, after the current policy, an uncapped player, who will be getting a minimum of INR 50 lakh in the auction, can get an increased salary if he represents the nation.

The reports added that the salary of an uncapped player will double up if he plays 10 international games between two IPL seasons. For example, if a player is getting INR 50 lakh and if he represents his international team 10 times before the next season then he will be getting INR 1 crore for the upcoming edition of IPL.

BCCI recently revealed the regulation of fees for uncapped players. They released the three-point statement, saying that there will be no minimum league fee regulations. They stated (as mentioned in Cricbuzz):

“(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

“(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.”

This is likely to be applicable from the next season of the IPL. It will be a great opportunity for the young players as incentives from BCCI will no doubt bring out the best of them. It also will provide respective international teams will great players.
