  • IPL 2022 player auction this weekend 
After India clinched their record fifth International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 (U-19) World Cup last Saturday (5) in the West Indies, the top Indian performers of the event can now become “million dollar babies” at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 auction. The likes of India U-19 Captain Yash Dhull, Nishant Sindhu, Shaik Rasheed, Raj Bawa, and pacer Ravi Kumar who performed well in the West Indies tournament are set to be rewarded highly at IPL 2022 auction, reported InsideSport in India yesterday (7). ‘Juniors are welcome’ As per the IPL organisers, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), all the Under-19 players have registered themselves for Indian Rs. 20 lakhs (Sri Lanka Rs. 5.4 million) of base price. These players can get 10-20 times their base price, one of the franchise officials had been quoted as saying in the above report. In Sri Lanka rupees, it will be a minimum of 54 million. “Junior talent is always welcomed and rewarded in the IPL auction. We know these kids are the future. Though rationale will always be applied, some of these kids can get 10-20 times of their base price. That’s how sometimes bidding goes,” one of the top franchise officials has said. Two new franchises India beat England by four wickets last Saturday (5) in the Under-19 World Cup in Antigua and Barbuda to lift their fifth trophy in the world championship out of 14 occasions, stamping their unparalleled authority in the competition whilst also sustaining stability in the world game for India for the future. The IPL 2022 auction will take place over this weekend, 12 and 13 February, in Bangalore. In August 2021, the BCCI confirmed that two new franchises or teams would join the league from the 2022 season. New title sponsor in Tata In a closed bidding held on 25 October 2021, RPSG Group and CVC Capital won bids for the two new IPL teams. RPSG had reportedly paid Indian Rs. 7,090 crore (Sri Lanka Rs. 190 billion) for the new Lucknow franchise (team) whereas CVC had won the Ahmedabad team for Indian Rs. 5,625 crore (Sri Lanka Rs. 152 billion). Vivo pulled out as the title sponsor of the tournament on 11 January 2022. Vivo, having previously pulled out as sponsors in 2020, had signed contracts as title sponsors till 2023. The Tata Group was named as the title sponsor for the remainder of Vivo’s contract. Two Sri Lanka U-19 players too The two new teams, which will extend the duration and the number of matches in the annual league considerably this time, are named Ahmedabad Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. There are two Sri Lanka Under-19 players too – skipper Dunith Wellalage and pacer Matheesha Pathirana – who are among 23 Sri Lankans named in the 2022 IPL auction. Their base price is at Indian Rs. 20 lakhs or Sri Lanka Rs. 5.4 million.
