Muralitharan said in an interview with Times of India that\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve played in so many leagues around the world, but no board has done something like this. Like the players, the board too is supposed to honour a contract. It shows that they don\u2019t care for the players. They\u2019re just bothered with running the tournament.\u201d He further went on to say that\u00a0\u201cWhile guys like me and Mahela (Jayawardene) can still run our homes without this money, imagine the plight of the lesser-known players for whom $30-400,000 matter a lot. I\u2019ve heard that some of the support staff, in fact, didn\u2019t get 80% of their dues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kochi franchise was a part of the IPL in 2010 and later it was terminated by BCCI and all the cricketers were placed into auction for the following season.\u00a0Apart from Hodge, Murali and Jayawardene, there are names like VVS Laxman, Brendon McCullum, Ravindra Jadeja and Parthiv Patel who are yet to receive a significant amount of their payment.\u201cWhen it comes to the IPL, the Sri Lankan cricket board leaves you on your own. The BCCI doesn\u2019t recognise FICA (Federation of International Cricketers), so there\u2019s no point in going to them, and I don\u2019t want to sue the BCCI in the Indian courts, because I know that the case will stretch for years. Legally, I and many other players had signed a two-year contract, so we should be paid even more. In this court battle between the BCCI and the Kochi franchisee, it is the players who got smashed,\u201d Muralitharan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently paid Delhi Daredevils\u2019 Mohammad Shami Rs 2.2 crores as compensation for missing the ninth edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) due to injury.
