Could IPL contracts take a hit if players bail on bowling?
Ravichandran Ashwin is throwing some serious shade at players who pull a fast one on their teams. His radical idea? Deduct cash from IPL contracts if players decide to skip their four overs at the last minute. Imagine the chaos if teams start feeling the pinch because a player suddenly decides they’re too knackered to bowl.
With IPL 2026 just around the corner, the uncertainty around Cameron Green's bowling capability is raising eyebrows. Will he actually deliver the goods, or is he just another player with a questionable workload? Ashwin's proposal might just be the wake-up call the league needs to keep players accountable.
This could change the game entirely. Teams might start to think twice before signing players who aren’t committed to delivering. As the tournament looms, all eyes will be on how franchises respond to this bold suggestion. Will Ashwin's idea catch on, or will it be another passing thought?
