Could it become cricket’s LIV Golf moment? IPL franchises have held informal talks on what it would take for players to turn their backs on Cricket Australia contracts. The informal talks so far have apparently led to a $5 million offer on a yearly basis being made to a high-profile Australian player. Viewing this lucrative deal in context, it is to be noted that current ODI and Test skipper , who is placed in the highest bracket of the central contract list, earns around $2 million from Cricket Australia (CA). Earlier, CEO Venky Mysore had labeled the prospect of a year-long contract as an 'ideal' scenario for franchise cricket. He told The Telegraph earlier this year: “In an ideal world, sure - because that gives us the opportunity to make our vision and our strategy even stronger. If we were able to have X number of contracted players, and were able to use them all in different leagues, I think that would be nirvana. Hopefully, someday it will happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.” The next edition of the IPL is slated to take place from March to June 2023 with a dedicated window for the first time. The mini-auction has been locked in for December 16, with the franchises required to submit their list of retained and released players by November 15.
