RR offers Jos Buttler landmark four-year deal for whopping INR Rs 40 crores
News comes to the fore that England’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler is being offered a landmark four-year deal by IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals.
In close proximity the T20 format is growing at a rapid pace as almost every cricket-playing nation has started its marquee T20 competition.
With the addition of new leagues, IPL owners have expanded their dominance, as they now own several franchises in these budding leagues.
By dint of the expansion, the IPL owners have endeavoured to rope in players to play for all their global franchises for which they have prepared contracts that ask the players to play for all their extended teams across leagues and give up their national contract.
As of now, Jos plays for RR in IPL and Paarl Royals in SA20 but does not play for Barbados Royals in the CPL.
By inking the deal, Buttler would have to give up on his international contract and seek RR management’s permission to play white-ball cricket for
The Three Lions.
He has been reportedly offered INR 40 crore for 4 years.
Apart from Buttler, MI were also reported to present a similar proposition to Jofra Archer, while Jason Roy recently gave up his contract to sign a deal with KKR and will be next seen in the upcoming Major League Cricket (MLC) playing for LA Knight Riders.
With this new development by RR, BCCI gets concerned on IPL team owners buying franchises in overseas leagues, plans to takes important action.
