Clarke out for two months

PMSL at the IPL. They lost Pietersen, and now they seem certain to lose McCullum and Clarke as well.

Faf is also out for a few weeks as well.

No drawn IPL matches then.

Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" competition.

there are still lots of turkeys in that barnyard tho...

As long as they're available for the BBL.

Also, is there any player who's looked more awkward than Clarke in 20020 internationals. No big loss for Clarke.

I think it's a massive loss for Clarke.

Or whatever team it is he was meant to be playing for. These IPL teams don't exactly have a 'Moneyball' strategy going on.

I meant his record in 2020s rather than his pulling out of this tournament.

So I guess these injured players must legally get SOME of their money. 50%?

Each player has to sign a contract with BCCI.

The IPL has two type of contracts – under first, called the firm agreement, the player will get a fixed sum from BCCI and the difference between the bid amount and the fixed fee will be earned by BCCI,

On the other hand the second, called the basic agreement, gives a player freedom to take home the amount he has been bid for. The average amount of money each player will take home is whopping Rs 80 lakhs.

IPL also makes it mandatory for a franchise to spend at least $3.3 million annually for player fees and give $100 as per day per player daily allowance.

International players will be immediately released to attend their international matches if they clash with IPL whereas for domestic boards, which rely heavily on the players, will have to give way to IPL as players need to decide where they want to play, and a player who gets Rs 80 lakhs for 45 days will not leave IPL anyhow.

Hence, it will be a loss to domestic boards but a great opportunity for youngsters who don’t get chance to perform in national and international leagues.

The Sri Lankan board knicks a portion of the players' IPL earnings . I'd assume other boards would too. Otherwise, they might as well release players for the Ranji trophy.

Some here too

Players are paid on a pro rata basis, depending on how many matches they play, and also have 20 per cent chopped off their salaries if their side doesn't qualify for the Champions League.

I guess a basic minimum plus pro rata.

It seems a little bit complicated, but I think we can safely assume that some overweight, shady BCCI Officials benefit no matter what.

i thought they get nothing if they dont make themselves available or are not in the final squad? doubt any franchisee will pay someone who is not even part of the travelling squad

Perhaps the franchises need to see a signed medial certificate before they pay out.
