Franchise owners would like the same format to continue, home and away ties. That was the understanding with the franchises when the decision was taken to introduce two new teams by IPL
these are guys who know me well, youngsters in the IPL, assured of a spot on their teams... the people who came up to them were trying to build relationships that they could milk when the player became a star
We have special IPL rakhis featuring cricketers from all teams. But again, the maximum demand is for the Dhoni rakhi.
We don't pay big money, we can't compete with IPL teams. IPL dollars are going to get the first call. Money talks.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has not reported any irregularities in the accounts and violations of auditing norms by some Indian Premier League (IPL) teams
At the same time it is also important that we are given proper respect by the IPL people and teams
It all depends on what is the policy of our board and government but at the same time it is also important that we are given proper respect by the IPL people and teams
It is pretty close. IPL teams have foreign players they can play four. Other international sides are the same they have the international players and some youngsters. So it is pretty close.
CLT20 regulations stipulate that with Jacques Kallis, Ross Taylor and Cameron White playing for their IPL franchise instead of their home teams, RCB must compensate the Warriors, Central Stags and Victorian Bushrangers $200,000 each respectively

The problem is that Indian people don't love world cricket, they love Indian cricket. So the Indian IPL teams have to do well
There could be some discrepancies (in statements of accounts of IPL teams)
The concept has been taken from the IPL and five teams/franchises would be picked to play in the league with the Dubai sports city having the right to sign on the players in the teams
That was completely wrong. In fact, the level of competition in the IPL was higher than the CLT20 but the dynamics of the (IPL) teams made the difference. In an IPL team you have four foreigners. Quality of any IPL side is as good as any team in the world
South Africa is going to be different because they are used to a club culture. Now we are starting with an advantage because they know the two South African teams and they know the three IPL teams, so recognition is not 3 on 12 [last year] but it's 5 on 10. So that's a big advantage for us.
I think that will evolve quite a bit, just having the T20 World Cup for the national teams, and then the 50-over cricket and Test matches will take a different path. When the IPL came for the first time, everyone was surprised. But n the second and third year you saw how it became such a big thing
IPL is all about city based teams, but for me it’s the character of the team that appeals the most. Even in England, you will find a bunch of Liverpool supporters who are based in Manchester or Birmingham
