Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has called for stricter measures against last-minute withdrawals in the IPL, urging the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to revisit its current punishment system. The former India captain believes the existing two-year ban rule is not strong enough to deter players from pulling out after being picked in the auction.
Gavaskar’s remarks come in the wake of multiple high-profile withdrawals, with overseas players opting out of IPL commitments citing workload management or personal priorities.
