Even before the beginning of the IPL season 5, it is surrounded by many controversies. To start with, Si Lanka issued the order to the cricket players to return back home before the team’s trip to England in March as the nation wants to prioritize and opt for playing for the nation rather than indulging in IPL tournament.

Mahidananda Althugamage, the Sri Lankan sports minister issued the statement saying that the cricket players of their team can definitely take part in the international tournament but provided that they do not clash with schedule of national team practices. It was expected that 11 players will be participating in the IPL season 5 and two of them will be the captains of franchises. But now, they will be missed by the respective franchises in this season of the DLF IPL.

IPL 2012

Then, 4^th February 2012 was the auction day for IPL 5 players. This was the time when Sahara India, owner and sponsor of Pune Warriors withdrew their sponsorship and now the team will be sponsored by some other sponsors. Also, the new team in IPL 4, Kochi Tuskers was banned from IPL 5 as they broke some norms.

IPL governing committee is indeed yet to declare the penalties to players in case they pull out of the IPL tournament at short notice but Sri Lankan ministry has declared that they may need to drop players from national side who does not succeed to comply with orders issued.

Apart from absence of the Sri Lankan players, Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Deccan Chargers are without captains now. But despite all these controversies and issues, it is hoped that the IPL 2012 will outshine and will grow like the earlier seasons of the DLF IPL as well.

So, enjoy the IPL season 5 with full zeal and vigor.
