The conclusion by BCCI to terminate the Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchise for breach of contract has left 28 thin cricketers in the lurch.
Although the BCCI has stated that in case the franchise fails to pay up the players' dues, they would encase the bank guarantee and pay their salaries.
However, a larger question in this background is what and how will be the future of these players, which include top names like former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene and Indian players like Parthiv Patel, S Sreesanth, Ravindra Jadeja, Rudra Pratap Singh, to name a few.
Will these players feature in the fifth edition of IPL? That's a million dollar question as of now with BCCI express their want to go with nine-team for the next edition.
"It's a tough situation, certainly. The new IPL governing council needs to put in a lot of consideration into how they will handle the delicate issue of the future of these players," a BCCI official, who attend the AGM on Monday, said.
He admits that it will be a tough ask to restore the players in other teams.
There are a few options and the BCCI is deliberate on the pros and cons of each of them.
While a section of members are in favour of re-auction for the players, there are others who are pointing out at the soft underbellies it might have to go in for an auction.
"Why would the nine other franchise be ready for sale of these players (though all of them are not capped)?" the official questioned.
