IPL New Teams: IPL 2024 players are likely to get even wealthy, such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni, as the BCCI, India’s Cricket Control Board (BCCI) will raise the wage ceiling Rs 85 crore to Rs 100 Crore within 3 years.
With two new IPL 2024 franchises in the pipeline, IPL will launch, BCCI aims at retaining players earning more. The existing Rs 15 crore highest wage limit for a retained player is changed according to the anticipated revisions.
This indicates that people who are anticipated to be retained, like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, are expected to check the higher salaries of IPL 2024 by increasing their Rs 5 Crore pay ceiling.
IPL New Teams and Formats
By introducing two additional clubs from IPL 2024, the Indian Premier League (IPL) will modify its format. But the Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) has failed to prepare for a new 94 match window despite the growing number of matches.
The IPL window will instead be extended into 60 days in a 74-match schedule. The IPL will thus return to the same format as it did in the 2011 season when two new clubs were established.
This means the 10 teams are now divided into two groups of 5 teams, instead of the present arrangement for all teams that play with each other twice.
