CA Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland quoted in Cricket Australia’s website that CA was continuing to work through complex detail relating to existing CA and CA player contractual obligations relating to Australian player involvement in the IPL competition.
“We have always said we want to see IPL succeed, but on the basis that it does not compromise ICC Future Tours Program or ICC Events cricket,” he said.

But we are approaching this with an open mind on trying to resolve the issue in a manner that allows IPL to go ahead with Australian players’ participation,” said Sutherland.
