The procedure of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction has already been thrashed and on Wednesday, Ganguly said the outrageous prices cricketers fetched there have no bearing on their abilities. “Don’t judge players by the amount of money they get in the IPL,” he said at the launch of 20th edition of the Cricket Year Book. Jaydev Unadkat, who has little international experience, fetched Rs 11.5 crore and Manish Pandey goes for Rs 11 crore,” he elaborated. It is about demand and supply and can’t be a yardstick to determine a player’s value,” said Ganguly. For the past three years with Spanish coaches and their chosen players we won twice.
