The IPL 4 franchisees will now be able to retain four players - maximum of three Indian cricketers - while the rest of the cricketers will have to once again go through the IPL Player auctions to secure contracts.
The number of matches has been reduced from the proposed ninety-four matches to seventy-four IPL match schedule. It will still mean that teams will play the original number of fourteen matches each - seven home and seven away matches as always. The teams though will be split in two groups of five each and the top two from each group will contest in the semi final.
The team can have a squad of no more than thirty players and if they retain none, they will have $9 million dollars going into the auction. If they retain the four players, they will have only $4.5 million to play with.
The finer details will be revealed.
