Why are IPL teams not giving preference to local players?

There are some concerns already with foreign captains not using local bowlers i.e. Warne's usage of his bowlers against a loss to KKR recently my post re that ----

Maybe yes as he was trying to win a lost game so he went with his best bowlers first so nothing wrong with that as it is IPL has imposed a cap on foreign players which will look after Indian player's interests unlike major EPL teams who are now owned by Americans & play 11 foreign footballers with foreign coach, Arsenal F.C. & Chelsea are few of d big teams to do so & it hasn't gone this bad in IPL !!

Now your concern re local players I think u r right IPL & franchisee needs to look at this aspect as well so a rule for 3 local talents has to be implemented else local interest will become zero !!

IPL franchisees have become more professional than sentimental now. While a few teams have benefitted from buying outside players, others, particularly Delhi Daredevils have badly suffered.

There are 22 players currently participating in IPL-2011 from the city of Delhi only, which is way above any other state's figure! That makes it a good 2 teams comprising Delhi players only. Yet only 1 of them- Virender Sehwag has featured for the Delhi Daredevils yet in this IPL. This team has lost many of its local players of the past 3 editions, viz. Gautam Gambhir, Pradeep Sangwan, Ashish Nehra, Rajat Bhatia, Shikhar Dhawan, Mithun Manhas and Amit Mishra to other teams. Kolkata and Bangalore have immensely benefitted from Delhi's loss! :D

And all this loss has cost the Delhi Daredevils dearly. From being the foremost contender to the IPL title in the first 3 editions, they've started this tournament as underdogs, such a crash! With 3 losses out of 4, they don't seem to be heading anywhere.

So, yes this time the franchisees have preferred to pick up a winning combination than go by the sentiments of the native people. It may pay for some while backfire for others.

I agree that it should be like that, but the nature of competition means that now all the teams just want the absolute best that they can get, or at least that's a preference over the locality of the players.

It's similar to most sports, like premier league football, it's not about where the players are from.

I guess it's good in a way because it seems unfair that just because a player lives in one region they are less favourable in another or the other way, if an area where the standards of cricket aren't as great - but like you said there's still four spaces for outside of state players.

You make a very convincing point - I completely agree with you

There is one Bengali speaking player in KKR, Shakib. He is from Bangladesh. Other than Ganguly, they have had Bengali players like Wicketkeeper Saha and Laxmi Ratan Shukla featuring in previous IPLs. But no one from West Bengal this year. Local players does not mean state players it means Indian players. We are a union and not a federation.

Because teams are not made by govt authorities or state authorities, it is made by private parties. So they didnt gave preference to the development of local players.

And I think it is right. IPL is a competitive tournament so the development of players should be done on any other platform not on the IPL.

IPL is just a competition and entertainment.

i will continually help my abode crew. My first selection is the Kolkata Knight Riders. would not count number who performs for it or who would not, it really is my abode and that i think i might want to be unswerving to it. Then comes RCB because my regular modern-day cricketer performs in it, Virat Kohli, yet i'd not in any respect want them to win the trophy because I haaaaattttteeeee their vendors. -_- they ought to lose the semi finals each and anytime. yet, I truly have considered lots of my classmates hate KKR for no reason and help communities like RR & RCB and experience at the same time as KKR loses. Had a large altercation very last nighttime and wanting to help in undemanding words my abode crew, Virat Kohli & Rahul Dravid. no longer their communities. i began helping RCB as my second crew from the first season because they'd adult men like Dravid & Kumble. BQ: handed off merely the former day. some adult men did commence making relaxing of KKR after the loss yet I took it absolutely and it develop into besides the indisputable fact that perfect to be certain a grin on Dravid's face after the tournament. desire this does no longer happpen back reason the subsequent tournament is KKR v RCB. :P and that i help Delhi too for the reason that lots of my kinfolk stay there and that i visit typically, a smooth nook, merely. Regards.
