Bengaluru, July 30 (IANS) The maha draft of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 was organised by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) in a ceremony held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday.
In the presence of KSCA President and former India all-rounder Roger Binny, Vice-President J Abhiram, Secretary Santosh Menon, Joint Secretary Shavir Tarapore and Treasurer Vinay Mruthyunjaya, the six teams picked their coaching staff through a draft system.
After this, the coaching staff took charge of drafting players from categories A, B, C and D into their respective teams. Category A includes India and IPL players with a salary of INR 5 lakhs. Category B, includes State players who have taken part in only one of the senior tournaments (Ranji Trophy/ Vijay Hazare Trophy/Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy) and they will be handed a purse of INR 2 lakhs.
Players who have been part of the age group tournaments (U-19 & U-23) will make up Category C with a purse of INR 1 lakh. Category D comprises Emerging Talent with a salary of INR 50,000 rupees. A total of 740 players featured in the Player Draft, with 14 players in Category A, 32 players in Category B, 111 players in Category C and 583 players in Category D.
The draw witnessed some dramatic moments, especially when the draft of players from category A happened. Mysore Warriors picked batter Karun Nair, followed by Gulbarga Mystics roping in batter Manish Pandey.
Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters picked opening batter Mayank Agarwal while Shivamoga Strikers acquired the services of all-rounder K Gowtham. Mangalore United picked batter Abhinav Manohar while Hubli Tigers took in pacer Abhimanyu Mithun.
It was quite an interesting draw today. We had already chosen six chief coaches who came with their own team of support staff including one state selectors. They were all quite well-prepared I must say, and had come with good strategies.
Each team has now picked 18 players and will pick the mandatory two players from their catchment areas based on their selection criteria. With just about a week left for the start of the tournament, there is certainly a lot of excitement, stated Binny after the draw ended.
The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 will commence on August 7 in Mysore with the first leg of matches totalling to 18 to be held at the Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Ground in Mysore. It will be followed by the next 16 matches, including the final on August 26, to take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The competition is a replacement for the Karnataka Premier League (KPL), which ran for eight seasons till 2019 before a match-fixing and betting scandal, followed by Covid-19 pandemic, forced a stoppage of the tournament.
