The Indian Premier League (IPL) today punished a four-match ban on young Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey, who has been signed up by Sahara Pune Warriors for the fourth season of the T20 league, for breaching its guidelines.
Speaking to reporters after a marathon meeting of the T20 League’s governing council, chairman Chirayu Amin said that Pandey, through his agent, had haggled with several franchises.
Pandey, the first Indian to score a century in the IPL playing for the RCB, was said to be negotiating with other franchises.
“Pandey’s agent was negotiating with a number of franchises,” said Chirayu Amin, the chairman of the IPL GC.
Pandey had earlier rejected RCB’s offer to sign him again as the franchise offered him fees as per IPL rules, which states that domestic cricketers who played more than two seasons, but less than five, should not be paid more than Rs 20 lakh.
Ravindra Jadeja had suffered a similar fate and was banned from taking part in the third edition of the Indian Premier League for negotiating with other franchises without the Governing Council’s knowledge.
