With 28 matches over in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League presently underway in the UAE, the first half of the season is over. And ahead of the start of the second half, a proposed mid-season transfer will begin, with teams eyeing new recruits from other teams in a bid to plug the holes in their ship.
When will the mid-season transfer window open?
With all teams completing seven games in the league stage, the transfer window will open on Tuesday and will continue for the next five days. A similar window was opened in the previous season as well, although only for uncapped players, but none of the franchises went ahead to use the opportunity.
What is the rule for mid-season transfer?
Only players who have played two or fewer matches for their respective franchise in the first half of IPL 2020 will be eligible for transfer. Both teams have to mutually agree on the deal. The player will only be loaned out to another franchise and would to his orginal side at the end of the season. The original franchise will get a mutually agreed money from the receiving franchise which is not subject to the salary cap of the player. The first fifty per cent of the loan fee will be paid within the first seven days of registration and the remainder within seven days of the final game.
The loanee will also be disallowed to play against his orginal side in the return-leg fixture.
