The Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council introduced a few stringent rules, especially pertaining to overseas players in a media statement on Saturday. From defining the retention rules, and salary slabs for IPL franchises, the statement also issued overseas players a potential 2-year suspension over auction mischief that has hurt teams over the last few years. From overseas players' last-minute pullout to preferring mini auctions over mega auctions, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now put checks and measures in place to prevent overseas players from misusing the system.
