Gavaskar also talked about the kind of disparity that is shown to the players who are only the part of India’s domestic season and don’t play the Indian Premier League. What I would however, like is that it’s just not the international players that get the compensation, in the Indian context particularly, I feel very sorry for the Indian domestic players who don’t play in the IPL because they play some 81 days of domestic cricket. So there is nothing wrong in the Indian players asking for more money because there are the ones who are bringing in the money. When asked about the non-contracted Indian players not taking part in the foreign T20 leagues, Gavaskar suggested that it’s only Caribbean premier League in which the Indian players can take part in. They can only play the Caribbean league, they can’t play the BBL because it clashes with the Indian domestic season.
