KOLKATA: Their players may have earned hefty deals at the IPL mega auction but West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard on Tuesday said it's time to move on and focus on international cricket as his team looks to tame India in the T20 series.

Explained in 10 points: How the IPL salary structure works | Cricket News – Times of India

You have seen multiple cricketers walk away with multi-crore deals over the years at an IPL auction. Big name players have struck it rich, while little known players have become household names, with multi-million dollar deals. But how exactly does the IPL salary structure work? Here's a quick explainer in 10 points: - The sum that the player is bought for becomes the player's salary (taxes are worked out accordingly). - There are no other claimants for the salary money, the amount is the player's alone. - All salaries are per season. So if a player is bought for Rs 10 Crore, he is paid that amount for one season's appearance. So, in case it's a three year contract, he will be paid Rs 30 Crore (Rs 10 Cr per season, depending on availability). - In 2008, when the IPL began, the bid amoun...

IPL Auction 2022: Franchises cautious while going for U-19 stars; uncapped players strike it big | Cricket News – Times of India

CHENNAI: Cricket is a lot about timing and the Under-19 cricket team got it just right by lifting the World Cup before IPL's mega-auction. But did that translate into big bucks for the stars of that triumph? At the end of two days of bidding wars, it seems the franchises chose to tread on the side of caution when it came to loosening the purse strings for the newest batch of young talent in Indian cricket. While some uncapped, but proven performers like Avesh Khan, were laughing all their way to the bank with bids as high as Rs 10 crore, only a few of the Under-19 stars, skipper Yash Dhull included, managed to land deals with IPL teams in the two-day mega auction held in Bengaluru.

End of Road(ies): Ishant, Mishra, Chawla, Tiwary, Dhawal

The veteran of 105 Tests could not get a game in India’s recent three-Test series in South Africa, another indication that the team management is phasing him out. He was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 1.1 crore in the 2019 IPL auction. However, the franchise found use for him in just four games across seasons 2020 and 2021. Although he’s been part of as many as six franchises across the duration of the league, none of the teams spotted a worthy deal in Ishant’s skills this time.
