BCCI has made it's millions by "selling" franchises. It's the owners who will end up as bag holders.
IPL's 20-20 event is turning out to be like last year's world cup in the Caribbean. The greedy BCCI has scheduled too many matches and as a result, players are unable to sustain their quality of play and spectators also seem to be gradually losing interest.

They are being released to play domestic cricket. Some of these players were playing the Vijay Hazare Trophy ODI tournament. Which is perfect...The players do get paid for playing domestic cricket by BCCI...so it is wise to release them to perform & possibly earn a place in the Indian side or maybe be next time round these players could be the front runners in the auctions.
Would you personally keep those players in the dug-out..knowing that they arent gonna opportuniy this season..& continue to pay them or would you let those players play some cricket elsewhere??? Common sense says you let those cricketers play cricket elsewhere.
Yeah... i look at any new venture positively instead of being all pessimist about it right from the start. Yes, there might be a few negatives initially...but those can be corrected/rectified. The fact is that Test cricket has been losing audience... (domestic cricket was micuh worser...people hardly care to go & watch)...so it was obvious that cricket needed to opt for something new..& T20 is a good innovation. ...Makes cricket competitive amongst other top sports too in the world. I would ratehr see Cricket succeed as a sport worldwide than seeing NFL becoming a world sport..afterall, cricket has been one of my favorite sport & pastime. Wouldnt I promote something which my original country is popular for.
It's one thing to think positive and another to extend blind support, criticizing will only serve them good in the long run. Test cricket has been losing audience every where but in India & Aus. I'm not sure how much interest this IPL has garnered in the countries like Eng & WI where cricket is losing it's ground.
If they're not going to let the reserve players practice/work out what's the point of hiring them? In NFL, practice squad gets to participate in the practices, use team facilities and get the necessary exposure.
well, gayrukh khan fired his players two days ago. clearly, he wanted to save money on their expenses. but i think he treated his players better than that zinta bai who insulted her players by asking them to live in cheaper hotels. i have not read any reports of gayrukh kha doing it.
coming back to muchocricket's original question, i have read conflicting reports and a few of them stated IPL as a huge success. a few of them call it as a not-so-huge-success. personally, i have zero interest in watching these IPL games.
