Mumbai: BCCI office carrier and chairman of the Indian Premier League Board (IPL) will enter a virtual meeting with the franchise owner on Saturday to discuss and share thoughts on two very important decisions to carry immediately.
A) If the 15th edition of the IPL cannot be held in India for reasons that are specifically related to Covid, where do elegant goals have to be passed by the league? B) To provide the owner of the update franchise in the upcoming tender of the IPL media rights, which will have a big impact on league finance for the next five years starting 2023.
Only the franchise owner was invited.
IPL in India or South Africa? BCCI believes that, as far as possible, IPL-2022 must and will be held in India.
However, if it has to be shifted for unexpected reasons, it cannot return to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Overseas objectives that are likely to be set aside are South Africa.
Sri Lanka also did not discuss.
The 2009 edition of the IPL was played in South Africa, and it turned out to be a big success in the second year of the league that gave birth.
“The council has paid the cricket fee of Emirates to the Tone of Rs 150 Crore (RS 100 CR for the 2020 edition of the IPL & RS 50 Crore for the 2021 edition) to host the tournament there.
The council is of course not interested in such spending from money again and Therefore it will see the option, “they said who traced development.
In addition, with two new teams in, IPL has grown to 10 franchises, and therefore the number of matches will also increase.
“There are only three reasons in the UAE, so the wear will be increasingly.
Second, look at the venue like Sharjah – it is very predictable last season, based on success.
There must be freshness the way everything goes,” they added.
However, that does not mean BCCI firmly to shift the league.
“It might not happen at all.
South Africa is only a BCCI-B plan,” said the source.
Their plan – a is to host the tournament in India – between Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune and Ko in Ahmedabad – if air travel should be avoided or made a minimum.
“And until now, plan – stand up,” added them.
Saturday meeting with team owners is to exchange ideas and arrive at the best solutions that can be completed.
“The last call can be taken around the second week of February and there will be enough time to move bags and baggage, if necessary,” said people who knew.
Plan-B must be seen now, and not later, because if the entire ecosystem does not have the remaining choice but to package their bags and trips, booking flights and hotels cannot be a last minute affair.
The rights of the Board of the Board planned giant training to float tenders for the sale of the next five-year IPL media rights starting 2023.
For this purpose, BCCI has brought KPMG Global Financial Consultants on the ship and the latter helps draw blueprints on how the process must be played .
BCCI has two top priorities towards this exercise.
A) ensure that transparency remains keywords at any time; B) Make sure the board produces the top dollar from the sale of rights.
In 2017, IPL rights were sold to Star India (now part of Disney Umbrella) for RS 16,347 Crore in a closed offer.
However, only the way bilateral rights are sold in the same year through the e-auction process, BCCI is considering if the same mechanism can be used to sell IPL rights this time.
“There is a general opinion that the e-auction is the right way to go – not to say that closed offers do not guarantee transparency – because it can help in encouraging the value of the offer,” said financial tracking.
Top-dollar derivation is the key to BCCI, as well as every time cricket has been operating with similar exercises in the past.
For this purpose, the Board has tried to determine how it must occur with the bucket of rights and a period of time to be placed, before the process takes place while in the third week of February.
“All of these aspects will be distributed with franchise owners”, which are 50% stakeholders in the IPL.
Meeting more meetings and greeting, general discussions and sharing ideas, along with the fact that “BCCI owners and franchises have not really met in a very long time”.
