BCCI consent rules clarify player trade rights in IPL
Summary

The BCCI outlines the consent form requirements for player trades in the Indian Premier League (IPL). A player must sign a consent form to be traded; without it, they cannot be moved, regardless of franchise agreements. Trade discussions can only commence once the signed form is received by the BCCI. If a player consents, they have no say in their destination as the selling franchise decides which bid to accept. Trading windows are specified, affecting when negotiations can take place, and overseas players require a No Objection Certificate from their home board to be traded.
