The voices of rebellion against the current system of IPL were being heard from many franchises. The teams handed over the list of retained players, but they believed that now there should be no mega auction of players. Now is the time to consider ending it. Let us try to know what is this whole matter and which franchises are demanding to end the auction and why?

Kolkata and Delhi have advocated ending the auction

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) chief executive Venky Mysore and Delhi Capitals' Parth Jindal feel that the IPL's mega auction has not been that fruitful anymore. If both the officials are to be believed, there is no need for a mega auction now. Mega Auction has not been the same for all. There is a turning point for the league where you have to ask, is there a need for a mega auction?

Players associated with the new rule

what is the draft system?

Players are selected from the draft system in 'The Hundred' of England and T20 League (PSL) to be held in Pakistan. There is no player auction. Drafts are divided into categories. Like- Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver. After that, the team participates in the draw. The order of selecting the players of the teams is done based on draw.

There is the advocacy of bringing this system in IPL as well. At the same time, many franchises believe that the way players are signed in the Football League. Similarly, we should also be allowed to sign players. When players are signed to a football league, they stay with the team for longer periods for more money.

Regarding this, the co-owner of the team, Parth Jindal had even said that it is heartbreaking. According to Parth, he could not keep these players in his team due to the IPL's written policy.

He believed that going forward, IPL needs to look into this, because it is not fair that you make a team, you give opportunities to the youngsters, you prepare them through your set-up and that is not the case with any other team. started playing on behalf of We give players opportunities, they play for our franchise, then they play for the county or their respective countries and there is a mega auction and we lose them.

Why franchisees don't want auction After doing all this, no team likes to send players to the auction. Franchisees want the players to get the benefit they have invested in them, not any other team.

Many cricket experts believe that what the franchises are demanding. He's right. The auction should end now and the decision of the team and the player for how long the player should stay with the team. Now it has to be seen how much attention the board gives to this demand of the teams.
