While we were all busy watching the Aussie series, the Bangkok meet with franchisees has happened and here is the reported outcome.
Looks like there will be about $2 million additional salary cap to get the Pietersons and Flintoffs of the world. The trading rules have been setup as well (though I am confused by "This means that trading can be done for existing players with absolutely no budgetary limits." - can you buy an existing player from another team for over $7 million.) It is unclear on whether the icon players can be traded.
Another auction is setup for the new players on Feb 6th (more tamasha). And finally a performance clause has been added in - interestingly I wonder if the players will agree. You can have only 4 foreign players in the team while the squad contains 10. So at any point 6 of them will get penalized the 20%.

interesting, so the foreign players cannot be penalized?
maybe, we should come with a wishlist of players for Chennai Superkings :) I think, we really few good bowlers :)
Existing players cannot be penalized unless they sign new contracts. I think foreign players can be penalized as well - just don't see how they will agree.
Yes, I was thinking of a wishlist not just for CSK but perhaps for all the teams. For example, I am thinking Bangalore needs KP (for the personality he brings as well :))
