Not too long back Lionel Messi’s transfer saga involving FC Barcelona broke the internet. While the transfer market is a vital part in the game of football, it is slowly and steadily making ground in cricket.
The Indian Premier League 2020 has so far offered numerous breathtaking moments and the mid-season transfer window is set to add an edge to the money-spinning league.
The IPL 2020 mid-season transfer window opened on Tuesday as the league reached the half-way mark post Royal Challengers Bangalore’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. All the teams have played seven matches which make them eligible to participate in the transfer window. Teams now have the liberty to loan out both Indian and foreign players. The rule is applicable for capped as well as uncapped players. The window would come as a fresh lease of life to bench-warmers who are raring to make a statement and for franchises to alter their bench arsenal. The lending franchise will avail the mutually agreed sum between the two bodies. Fifty per cent of the loan fee will have to be paid within seven days of registration and the rest within seven days of the finale of the season. Both the player and franchise will have to mutually agree to the terms, the franchise will take the final call. There have been a lot of speculations surrounding the transfer window, let’s settle it for once and all.
