'Uncapped players' in the IPL a sensitive issue
The BCCI removed the salary cap on uncapped players in the IPL as a reaction to the sting operation on some players
Stringent rules are non-negotiable, but to introduce them after one has allowed flexibility in the past would create more loopholes and the IPL needs to watch out. Announcements to rectify defects in the system are good, but an auction for uncapped players will be bottom-heavy.
