After this special meeting, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said in a release that the franchise owners submitted feedback on player rules and other business aspects including central merchandising, licensing and gaming. The BCCI will now place these recommendations before the IPL Governing Council and evaluate them.
Jay Shah further said that teams will not be allowed to retain more than five players and a Right to Match (RTM) card can be used. The RTM card gives a franchise the opportunity to match the last bid of a player from the previous season.
