The idea of having the PSL go head-to-head with the IPL is still ridiculous. This genius move is only going to hurt the PSL tournament.

The answer is that India is paying 20 per cent of his salary as release fees to ECB.
Missed this, yes it was approved last year.
@cricketjoshila I've also just discovered the BCCI scrapped the IPL release fees from the 2021 season, so are presumably now only paying the 10% every other board has to pay.

PSL can take advantage now as IPL auction is done and many good international players are left out so PSL can be their 2nd home. BCCI might try to thread those players if they chose to play PSL, they will lose next year IPL as well etc etc.
Let's see

It was proposed. Don't think it passed.

It says a solidarity fees will be paid. The 10 per cent is negotiable.

Foreign boards also make money when their players are picked
Overseas cricket boards also benefit financially when their players participate in the IPL. For overseas players, 20% of the final auction bid is shared with their respective national board, with this fee drawn from the IPL’s central revenue pool. For example, in the case of Jos Buttler, who was the highest-paid foreign player in the IPL Auction 2025, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will receive Rs 3.15 crore because the wicketkeeper-batter went for Rs 15.75 crore. This money comes from the IPL central revenue pool and not from the player’s salary.
IPL salary structure explained: How much do players earn from their bids? What extras do they get?
A total of Rs 639.15 crore was spent in the IPL Auction 2025 as Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were sold for Rs 27 crore and Rs 26.75 crore, but will they take home the whole amount. We explain how much IPL players earn from their actual bidding amount and the entire salary structure.
So the money now comes from the central pool and hence franchisees share the burden.

The BCCIs financial statements show the release fees were always considered an expenditure against the central revenue pool. This is clearly an article by a journalist who has missed the BCCI sneaking through the removal of the release fee.

First post is owned by JioStar. They are as close to BCCI as anyone can get.
If they are reporting it then it's true.
Only 50 per cent of the central revenue pool is BCCI's own revenue. The distribution will take into account this 20 per cent payable to boards via Franchisees.
During IPL auctions pre shows every journalist referred to this release fee. With some asking for the BCCI to hold back the entire release fee if a board pulls out a player suddenly.
Yes, firstpost are right and the BCCIs own independently audited financial statements are wrong, that must clearly be the case...
All of the IPLs central revenue from media rights, tournament sponsorships, ticket sales etc. is the BCCIs revenue. A portion of that is then distributed to the franchises and another portion distributed to the state associations (both classified as a cost to the BCCI). Previously the release fees were also taken out of that revenue (like the article you've linked to currently suggests it still is), since 2021 that has no longer been happening.

Till 2020 BCCI used to pay the release fees. That was changed. Now its paid from the central pool as expenses paid to franchisees.
Incorrect. Only playoffs ticket sales are BCCI's rest ticket sales go to respective franchisees.
In 2018, the release fee was raised to 20 per cent. In 2020 Jay Shah raised the issue that BCCI should not be paying this fees.
Earlier the BCCI was paying this fees because the franchisees were not making enough money. But since they were now all profitable they should be paying it.
Hence BCCI stopped paying and the money is now paid from the central pool payable to the franchisees as franchise expenses.

It does. BCCI is paying a premium to get the contracted players released temporarily from the contract.

Nothing to do with the law. The judge will ask where does the law stand, and Nothing else.

A person wants to hire the other teacher temporarily for a few weeks and is willing to pay the school compensation for that and the school allows.
Another person wants to hire you temporarily for a few weeks but isn't willing to pay the same compensation and school disallows.
Its fair.

Law stands that ECB is getting compensated for absence of its players and they are ready to accept that compensation. Its their discretion. Tommorow they may ask the BCCI more money.

As long as it's part of the contract. This is them suddenly changing the contract whilst at the same time, allowing others under the same contract to do something different, and that's why they won't win. They could let current contracts run down and then they can force any contract they want.

That is nothing to do with the law, that's just an agreement with the IPL.

There is no agreement with the IPL and ECB. Players have agreement with the IPL and franchisees. Its the players duty to produce the NoC.

It makes no difference the ECB can't stop them if they are not under contract or contracts are inconsistently enforced. I am not sure if you understand how the law works here. It's not Ind, where you can murder 1000s and become PM
