Honorary secretary of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) Santosh Menon on Thursday said that the shift from franchisee model to player draft method was the outcome of KSCA’s decision to prevent any type of intervention in the game of cricket by team owners
Addressing presspersons after unveiling the trophy of Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 in Hubballi on Thursday, Mr. Menon said that after a thorough discussion, it was decided to shift to player draft method as it will help in forming equal and balanced teams. “We have decided to eliminate the franchisee model,” he said.
He said that the player draft method was already in use in various countries and it will help in better composition of teams. And, through this method, KSCA will be responsible for forming teams, while only the commercial aspects will be decided by sponsors.
