ECB To Discuss County Compensation Deals

The England & Wales Cricket Board "will discuss new compensation deals for counties that lose players to the Indian Premier League in the wake of growing anger over the current system," according to Nick Hoult of the London TELEGRAPH. The counties learned recently that the ECB receives a fee of 10% of each player's salary from the IPL but "has not been passing the sums on to the clubs." The ECB argues the payments are "reinvested in the game evenly." But the ECB reportedly wrote to the counties on Tuesday to say that it will be "reviewing the current deals." The 18 county CEOs and the Marylebone Cricket Club are due to meet the ECB on Thursday to discuss the new Twenty20 competition. The IPL compensation payments have been added to the agenda "under pressure from counties" that want to know where the money has been spent and why they did not receive it. The ECB explained that it was "discussed and minuted in meetings in the past." The ECB will also look into a proposal for the return of a 50-over FA Cup-style knockout competition that was proposed by a working party chaired by Leicestershire County Cricket Club CEO Wasim Khan (TELEGRAPH, 4/17).
