i actually rate him as a player big style! if you look he actually did well in the world 2020 against the good teams! hes a very good little package! and a bloody good keeper!

[petehosk]

You are probably right - as the guy isn't really a 'high profile' player.
But he is a very good keeper. And would make a good buy for a team!

The IPL is fiercely competitive though, so should be interesting to see who gets 'left on the shelf'!!

[christianpurchase99]

SOMEONE BUY PHIL HUGHES!

[petehosk]

Does anyone know how many players have registered for the IPL, and how many actual places there are available???

[Jeet]

there are probably around 5-7 slots remaining. only 80 overseas players can take part in each season.

yeah. this year's signing will only get a 1 year deal. previously signed players are on 2 or 3 year deals

[petehosk]

Yeh - I seem to remember that coontacts were for longer than 1 year last time!
I'm sure that the likes of Freddy and KP will have their place waiting for them!
Does anyone know if Gilchrist is still playing this year??? Not sure if he was bidded for 2-3 years?

if the player signed in 2008, they received a 3 year deal. 2009 signs got 2 year deals. 2010 will get a 1 year deal. in 2011 all players will be up for sale again as two new sides will be entered.

they have first option, but the decision remains with the player.
