The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu - Karunanidhi, said he hoped that player’s auction doesn’t happen a second time. Rahul Dravid said he had reservations about the player’s auction.
The former captain of Pakistan cricket team- Inzamam-ul-Haq joined the debate today. He was critical of auction and the method of picking players for the different teams.
Marvan Attapattu , former Sri Lankan skipper said he would have been happy if the bidding and auction had been done in a more dignified way. Incidentally, Attapattu and Inzaman are both playing for the rival ICL league of Zee.
IPL auctions was exciting and fun for some but for some of the players themselves it was demeaning, embarassing and insulting as several of really good cricketers went for peanuts while the brazenly over the top guys got picked for more money than they deserved.
