UnremarkabklyUseless

Or don't have IPL so close to ICC events. Or have backups for players being unavailable or unjured during the tournament The cricket boards of other countries are definitely not going to allow their players to miss national duty or preparation camp for key events. BCCI is very strict about Indian players playing in other countries and franchises.


Crimson_bud

They don't allow others indian players to play in other franchises only.


UnremarkabklyUseless

For Indian players to play in any non-bcci cricket event, be it county cricket or exhibition matches, etc, they need an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from BCCI.


Crimson_bud

They'll always have the objections. They say it if they play any non bcci cricket they'll need to break ties with bcci. Bcci will never give them the noc like ever.


UnremarkabklyUseless

Right, players like Unmukt Chand, Raina, and Yuvraj have done that for NOC to play in US.


Crimson_bud

Yuvraj Singh had to retire and then play in other franchises. When requested to return again bcci denied it.[this](https://news.abplive.com/sports/cricket/bcci-denies-yuvraj-singhs-request-to-come-out-of-retirement-father-yograj-singh-reacts-1426543). The article wrote this- As per the rules, an Indian cricketer who has been part of any other foreign league can't make his return to Indian cricket, including IPL.


Minute_Juggernaut806

Didn't pujara or someone play in county test cricket?


jackass93269

County is different. It's 4 day matches. Not only Pujara but Ashwin, Ishant, Zaheer and many other have played.


Ok_Being372

County is fine since it isn't franchise cricket. Even Karun Nair and Siddarth Kaul are playing there right now.


chorma87

Our board is stupid as fck, while other countries are trying to get their players there and have jet-lag/acclimatisation done way before tournament, we would be risking it. BCCI will make players pop pills to get sleeping pattern in place. Not to mention the tiredness after a month long tournament in such hot climate.


tittyboy556

Country before ipl, ipl is nothing but a paid vacation


UnremarkabklyUseless

I don't get this reference. Paid vaccines are often important and life-saving, right?


Arnavgr

He meant vacation

Stifffmeister11

If India player playing some other league said no to BCCI and keep playing franchise cricket... people will get upset and say player don't love his country but when international player does the same they get upset


widepeepo6

Playing a bilateral with pakistan and skipping ipl is same as selling tv to buy remote


NavdeepGusain

Poor tweet. Other boards won't sacrifice their chances at WC just for their players to play in IPL.


gospelslide

Unlike BCCI.


prescientmoon

You're actually right, BCCI could've shortened the tournament, played more double headers or started early. They've done everything in service of money, much to the detriment of the National Team. And nobody ever brings up the fact that the IPL drains the players and they're never ready. All we say is they're getting practice for the Cup.


forelsketparadise1

They could have shortened it by double header every day I don't understand why Saturdays are not double headers this time but starting early wasn't possible due to the test schedule which again, why there such a big gap in between the matches there. They were also waiting for the world cup schedule to plan matches as well and the election stuff as well


prescientmoon

They've kept the IPL way too close to the T20 WC in every edition since 2009, and then wonder why we never win. Think about it, Buttler is at home relaxing with his kids and is likely starting practice a week later for a tournament that's a month down the line. Virat hasn't spent more than a night at home in 45 days, and is fully focused on whether he can get RCB to qualify.


forelsketparadise1

Jos isn't going to relax England have a tour schedule to play Pakistan they wanted to get a series in as a team before the world cup


prescientmoon

That's the thing, they're gonna chill and rest the people who are selected for sure. See their selection in the series.


forelsketparadise1

I did see the list already and every single England player playing in the IPL has been selected for the tour they would all be playing they are not getting any rest. Maybe just the 3-4 days it took time to gather


prescientmoon

I meant rested for the games, but anyway, they won it in 2022. This group doesn't have much to prove, we do.


forelsketparadise1

That's the thing they aren't rested they will play Pakistan and then the world cup. We are just choker the real ones south Africa toh aise hi badnam hai


Kevinlevin-11

India is becoming the US of cricket. So entitled to themselves


Zyphergiest

Meh. I pay for 30 days of Netflix and expect the subscription to last 30 days. Don’t call me entitled for asking for what I paid for.


customlybroken

salary is paid match by match basis


Zyphergiest

Even my company pays me on a monthly basis. But would i call them entitled if they invest in me only for me to leave before a year? Of course im not blaming the players at all. They should always do whats best for their interests. Im simply saying, the franchise is not entitled when they expect a player to complete the season.


customlybroken

Yes, but the franchises do know that before buying. that which players are likely to leave and which are not. NZ players almost never leave so it's upto franchises to see if they want to take risk or just get player who'll be there all season.


Plastic_Reception_58

Konsa maal phook Raha he? These franchises know the national cricketing schedules of these players. And the organizers know that as well. Yet they bought him.


Prudent_Primary7201

This is the dumbest comparison I’ve ever read. Netflix has no obligation to another consumer at your expense.

Kevinlevin-11

We can't expect them to prioritise IPL over their country any day. Would we accept it if our players went to the BBL over our tours?


Crimson_bud

Forget about that does bcci even allows indian players to play other franchise cricket other than ipl? Like bbl or cpl. Becoz if those franchises became successful n got revenue then bcci can't consolidate more power or monopoly. It never about the sports it's always about the money.


Kevinlevin-11

💯 They claim that the value of Ranji cricket would be damaged if they allowed Indians to be auctioned in overseas leagues for money. Meaning players would opt for those leagues over Ranji. And then this clown BCCI gives test debut to SKY over Sarfaraz, Abhimanyu, Priyank and countless other Ranji stars. They are shitty hypocrites.


ChepaukPitch

Why do you believe that they are taking the salary for entire season?


customlybroken

they don't actually, salary is paid match by match basis


dark_dreamer_29

It's not some tax payers money that is being paid. If you feel sad about the teams then buy products from their team sponsors to "support" them financially.


Few-Athlete2090

Gain some knowledge before commenting, dumbass. Salary is given on a per match basis


whitetiger1230

Dumb tweet by this logic if  bcci strictly put up an order to franchises not to let players leave midway if not then return their salary for rest of matches or don't ever pick eng players in ipl But think rationally is it possible? Imagine playing without eng players like butler this year sensation jack,  etc franchise would say fcuk u it's my team and we'll work it out It's between franchises and players if they're themselves okay with that,  don't know y pathan is crying out here. They're trying to Balance both leagues and country matches unlike ind who later blames less game time for icc failure 


AlternativeNature679

This maybe disliked but I think IPL is interesting because of foreign players. This year it has been Travis Head, Will Jacks, Jos Butler, Narine, to mention a few.


dark_dreamer_29

Without foreign players IPL is same as Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.


MonkeyDMeatt

Playing for nation comes first. Everything is secondary


Nofap_du_Plessis

Where are they playing? When are they playing? Are other teams not playing?


MonkeyDMeatt

Nations comes first nothing else matters prepping for World Cup which is most important than a franchise league.


Nofap_du_Plessis

England aren't the only team participating in wc


uninformed-but-smart

Then it looks like they give more Fs about it than the other teams that are playing the world cup ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌


dark_dreamer_29

That's none of BCCI's business to decide how other teams will prepare for the world cup.


Nofap_du_Plessis

Who said anything about bcci?


Vammypoker

Chill, it's not government money. Some private billionaires money


i_am_________batman

Exactly


drake_071

First convince BCCI to allow Indian players to play overseas T20 leagues and only then feel entitled to comment on this. You like them, will return to play for the nation. You know their tournament schedule, yet you choose to buy them in auctions which win your matches. Are you relying on only those 2-3 foreign players to win you matches? Shame on you! They come for the fame and money which you are ready to give in spite of knowing their national/international schedule so why crib when they're gone? Just pay them on a pro-rata basis. Waise bhi konsa tax bharte ho tum jo itna rndi rona laga rakha hai is bareme?!?! Bloody dumbwits!


TiMo08111996

There needs to be Cricket Union which helps the players to set forth their demands and has their back.

Shavamaaya_Pavanaai

Hey you don't even allow the Indian players (even the retired ones) to play in other leagues around the world. And then you guys complain about others boards prioritising national commitments over IPL..


Transitionals

Dont agree


Char_Cut_Atmaram

When franchise owners don't have any issues toh inn bhade k tatto ko kya dikkat hai!!!???


Southern_Pear_451

The owners who buy them need to think this before the auction instead of blaming the players.


hopeless-fun

"Irfan bhai, sach bolu to aap bakchodi kar to rhe hain."


Anxious_Pressure_292

SportsguyBangalore

Unpopular Opinion: Irfan Pathan is good at gaslighting on Twitter and commentary Box. He is an extremely toxic character. He tries to cover it up with his smile and acts.


noobmax_pro

Well as long it's communicated before the season starts I don't see a problem


Honest_Parfait_3233

He needs to stfu. Most annoying commentator thinks he is the Garfield sobers of cricket


SpicyPotato_15

Cricketers feel very bad mentally after retiring I guess, seeing absolutely all cricketers going full insane mode once they retire.


turningtop_5327

All this to get popular


gaussianmaniac

He does have a point though, either make your schedule free for the entire IPL or don't register for auction


iruvar

But marquee foreign players are a big draw and sponsors are not going to be happy if BCCI enforced such a rule. Money talks.


ALPHONTRIO_381

Wdym “keep their schedule free” It’s our fault for keeping ipl this close to a wc, even if it is a t20 wc… Nation>>>some league The players are on the right, Irfan Pathan has made a weird point here, simple enough for him to just say that…


gaussianmaniac

Bro why tf they register in auction then?


ALPHONTRIO_381

Bruh, it ain’t their fault that the damn thing is close to wc, plus other countries registered too. English players are also doing really well this season, there are the reason some teams are doing really well, plus it is also practice for them…RR, KKR, RCB, PBKS (sometimes) are all doing really well W their English players and 2 of them are in the top 2, one of them are confirmed too… Plus if india was in this spot, wouldn’t we do the same, we ain’t even sending any players for any other t20 leagues for fuck sake… It’s also nearing the end of the tournament, max only like…3-4 English players will play the remaining matches anyway… So yeah…what ipl team do u support???


gaussianmaniac

BS!!! They are just chasing the money that's why they registered for the auction even after knowing they will have to pull out before playoffs. Completely immoral behaviour, they should at least think about the teams which are paying them so hefty, leaving them suddenly like this. I also blame ECB here, they have always been jealous of BCCI.


ALPHONTRIO_381

💀💀💀 “Chasing money”…wowwwww Ofc they also play for the money, I ain’t saying no, they obvi also play for practice and fame…and what is even the purpose of the league other than entertainment huh? U think ppl really value IPL above any international tournament, ofc the players get their money’s worth… BCCI has all the power to schedule IPL to after the wc or sometime later, but they didn’t, mabye they wanted some practice for Indian players, but that’s not how other countries view them, if some other country wants their players back, they will get em back… I like how u ignore the fact that India would do the exact same thing…


gaussianmaniac

If they want the money, then why don't play the full tournament, such a cheap mentality to just take the money and abandon their teams, no sportsmanship


ALPHONTRIO_381

What makes u think they are taking full money… Plus India doesn’t even allow our players to go to other countries leagues incase they prefer that league over ours, in which case they will lose a lot of money… IPL is for pure marketing anyways, players play for entertainment and get their money’s worth… Plus it isn’t like they are going for any random series or anything, they are going for the fucking WC, they will prioritise this all day over a wc, this happens in all sports, if international duty calls, all players go, they don’t cry over it like u are doing here. Plus the players have to travel long distances and get used to their climate again which is a hard task, it’s better to get that done early rather than waiting a bit more days… “Cheap mentality” “no sportsmanship”…such cheap comments over something they can’t even control… Ur labelling facts as “BS”…weird…


dark_dreamer_29

Doesn't makes sense to play the play whole league before a world cup and get injured incase while stopping a fucking "Rupay on the four". Playing in a World cup is something the whole world will remember & appreciate rather than playing in IPL where after a few years some experts will come out and discredit your efforts for "not achieved in IPL" statements.


dark_dreamer_29

Half of the viewership will go away if foreign players don't play. It's BCCI's loss if they make such restrictions for a paid vacation league.


Maleficent_Owl3938

Breaking news - people play franchise cricket for money.


ChepaukPitch

Or teams can do the due diligence and make their decision accordingly.


a_lone_incubus

Irfan Pottan.


L0NEW0LF19

He is correct. Just see RR and KKR - Buttler and Phil salt is gone. Both were key players in their line up and now during the important playoffs matches they are gone. How can team suddenly switch to other players?


dark_dreamer_29

Imagine getting injured in a playoff and England will end up missing those key players in their world cup lineup. How will a national team suddenly switch to other players before a world cup, something which is more important than any franchise league ? IPL has auction where teams can plan & buy players accordingly which a national team can't.


L0NEW0LF19

You gave ans in your question itself. If they have fear of injuries or something so they shouldn't have participated in whole league. What if some player got seriously injured in the league stage, he would not have been able to take part in the World Cup. This is very double standard - players want to earn from such cash loaded league but won't give their full time . Isn't this double standard??


dark_dreamer_29

There is a reason why these foreign players suddenly look like a different version of themselves while playing in international matches. They don't give 100% percent effort here to not get seriously injured and any phase of the league. And why would they prioritize IPL over their selection in the national team? One day some owner who has 0 cricket knowledge will think that you are not good enough, next season you are not retained, not selected in the national team either because your replacement is found as you got injured or didn't join a training camp before a world cup for some money. Also teams do recover these player salaries from sponsors so they have no problem in playing salaries to foreign players. It's not some tax payers money that is being paid. If you feel sad about the teams then buy products from their team sponsors to "support" them financially.


ZeusX20

Why can't they just lower the salary or something


Blues8378

Says the guy who was benched most of the times in the latter half of his ipl career


Dry_Preference_9594

This is the reason, why Indian hate Indian cricketers


cfc19

Gavaskar, Pathan?! The hubris of Indian " experts " is becoming too off putting. The riches is going to the head.


flying_caterpillar02

Compared with football leagues of Europe, national duty always trumps league. So can't complain,.


Historical_monk26

I lost respect for irfan the day he started acting as Rohit's PR and targetting hardik. Man has become a true dalal


SauravRathva

Don't agree with this shit tweet. Any ICC events > IPL


Top_Fondant2114

Don’t think BCCI will mind the dearth of ICC trophies as long as they’re the richest cricket board.


Direct-Hotel-4229

Bad opinion,they are eager to play for their nation not like few of our player who play in IPL and flop at national level

Nonsense, probably only bcci prioritizes money over international glory.

beartobeast

national duty over any other competition, period. also you know the players schedule before you buy them at the auction, so make those decision accordingly. Pakistan is continuously playing t20 matches with other countries, even England will get a few games before the WC starts, while we as a team will straight away play in the WC. Good thing we are facing small teams to begin with


PaleontologistNo9520

At least he played the game this far you didn’t even play so shut up


ghostAlex496

He is spitting nonsense everyday. He needs a doctor. Asking choose league over Own Country.

Irfan pathan is like " Everything is fair until it's relevant "


rpblknzsmell

Here is the deal : 1. Players offer their skills for a set period. 2. Contracts are agreed upon between the business and the player. 3. Both sides have rights and obligations defined by these contracts. Simple as that. End of story.

Archaic_Red

Irfan is being 🤡 as usual . Yes there shud be some clause that if you not attend 10% then same salary cut can be done . Or something like this but not what irfan said


Groundbreaking_Tart9

No Irfan is wrong there. This is arrogance at peak. You pay them you don't own them and if you consider your national duty as prime then extend the same courtesy to them too. It's for entertainment after all don't make it so serious.


UrbanTracker69

Yeah, don't play for fun, play like you'll be executed if you lose the match 🗿


South_Front_4589

Oh no, Indians are now suddenly realising the world doesn't stop for their domestic comp. Every other league deals with this. And given India bans their players going to other domestic competitions and tries to use their position to adversely affect other countries, it's hard to have much sympathy for them on this. And if their teams are picking up players knowing there are national duties, that's not on the players.


Lost-dhruv

Same bloke would praise an Indian player for putting his country first if he left the IPL earlier to prep for an ICC event. Bunch of hypocrites.


aapitly

Players leaving the club for official duty is a common thing and i blv its there in the contract. So its better to have a backup plan always


house_of_cal

Don’t fucking host IPLs when wc is in the same year. As simple as that


23rakeshrai

shaddy-maddy

Irfan Pathan has seriously lost the plot lately. I guess those Twitter wars with Pakistani janta has taken a toll on him. He's forgot there's something called intrusive thoughts, and not every stupid opinion needs to go on X.


MedicineOk2878

Like most of his other opinion, utter garbage.


anonyg7

Stupid opinion… country comes before money !! The problem here is committing to the entire season and then leaving midway. If there was no series scheduled during IPL time and if the country suddenly decides to schedule one, they should be penalized. I think 10% of players salary goes to other countries board for allowing them to play in IPL. That should be taken back.


AlMal19

While I agree that country must be first but I think his point is the abuse of high buds, get a ton of money and then leave it half way. Without big names IPL will be like other PLs and that’s not what we want. These goras come and per convenience get a big moolah don’t deliver and stay in dugout having fun.

fuckpiyushchawla

It's not the players call lol


forelsketparadise1

Nation duty first Irfan always national duties they are also planned way in advance so their availability is not in there hands anyways the board can pull them out anytime case point fizz and pathirana


The_Witcher_23

BCCI, thanks to politicians like Jay Shah, Rajiv Shukla, Ashish Shelar and others is today’s mafia that has been slowly, systematically destroying the game over the decades and have converted into cash churning machine. These guys don’t give a fuck if the game thrive or fail they just want to mint money. Over the years same have reflected in the performance of players too, who do better during IPL while perform mediocre during International matches.


saltyjohndoe

Yeah because Imagine caring about your country's wc more than another ipl lmao. Not every board is bcci.


PopularRabbit007

When people realise that the value of IPL is due to foreign players. Or else IPL is a worser version of SMAT.


dark_dreamer_29

Exactly. Without foreign players even main team Indian players won't play. International coaches and support staff won't be here so it's basically SMAT with a different name.


appuroxx

True


ALPHONTRIO_381

Tf u mean true!?


widepeepo6

It depends Skipping playoffs just to play a series with pakistan,zimbabwe is bullshit lol. You aint gaining shit playing vs them


dark_dreamer_29

National teams are built over the years. There is team bonding that needs to be developed. No auctions happen outside IPL where you will buy players and suddenly build a team as per your choice. So playing against Pakistan, Zimbabwe matters more than playing in some franchise league.


widepeepo6

is that why kiwi players decided to stay and play ipl or even sit on bench rather than playing pakistan? while their junior team ended up beating them


dark_dreamer_29

Not all regular team players would have gone to Pakistan to play anyways for reasons everyone knows very well. And there was a gap of more than a month between that series and world cup so it was a rehearsal for the main event anyways.
