The 2009 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 2, will be the second season of the Indian Premier League, established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in 2007. The tournament will be hosted by South Africa and is scheduled between April 18 and May 24 2009.[2] IPL 2 is expected to be the biggest cricket tournament in the world after the Cricket World Cup[3] and will have an estimated television audience of more than 200 million people in India alone.[4]

Because the second season of the IPL coincided with multi-phase 2009 Indian general elections, India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) refused to commit security by Indian paramilitary forces. As a result, the BCCI decided to host the second season of the league outside India.[5] BCCI blamed the attitude of the UPA-led governments at the center and in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh for the decision.[6] On March 24, 2009, the BCCI officially announced that the second season of the IPL will be held in South Africa.[7]

Though India will not host the second season, the format of the tournament will remain unchanged from the 2008 season format.[8] According to Lalit Modi, chairperson of IPL, all the 59 matches of the second season will take place per schedule and an IPL official said that England and South Africa were initially being considered the front-runners to host the league.[9][10] South Africa was chosen as the venue primarily due to concerns over England's weather.[11]

Relocating the tournament will pose extreme logistical challenges for the BCCI since more than 10,000 cricketers and other staff members will be flown from India to South Africa within a span of a few weeks.[12] The IPL is expected to inject approximately US$100 million into South Africa's local economy.[13] In addition, the BCCI signed a Rs. 8,200 crores contract with Multi Screen Media to broadcast matches live from South Africa to India.[14]

Changes

Some of the rules were changed for the 2009 edition of the IPL. The number of international players allowed in any one squad was increased from 8 to 10 although the number allowed in any playing 11 remains at 4.[15] The players purchase cap was increased from 5 to 7 million. The BCCI also negotiated with the ECB to allow English cricketers to participate in the 2009 edition of the IPL. English players will be allowed to play for 21 days in between their tour to West Indies and the subsequent return tour.[16] It is widely believed that England's decision to continue their 2008 tour of India in December after the 2008 Mumbai attacks created enough goodwill between the two boards for the arrangement to take place.

Pre-season trades and signings

Trade window

Teams were reluctant to trade initially due to the troubled economic times and the general desire to concentrate on building a well-rounded team as opposed to making profits out of trades.[17] Kolkata were initially inclined to present Pakistani express bowler Shoaib Akhtar for trade but later withdrew from a deal.[18][failed verification]

Signings

With most international players (barring members of the England squad and Indian Cricket League players) signing up for the first season, the emphasis for off-season signings for 2009 were possible up-and-coming young players from international domestic circuits. Some teams, including the Delhi Daredevils sent scouts to domestic and 'emerging player' matches held in Australia to sign up players.[19]

Suggestions of a draft for young Indian players were not considered this season, although the Kolkata Knight Riders have formed a Talent Research Development Wing (TRDW) to spot young talent and have begun training young Indian prospects for future Kolkata duty.[18][failed verification]

Pre-auction signings

Post-auction signings
Any 'unsold' players as well as players sought after as replacements for Pakistani players who would be unable to play for their IPL team in 2009 can be signed on after the auction. These include:

Re-signings

IPL Replacement Players, filling in for players away on national duty, and some under-19 players, were recruited with a one-year contract and hence their franchises had the choice to resign them or release them as free agents.

Retirements

Shaun Pollock opted not to return to the Mumbai Indians. Pollock retired from international cricket in 2008 prior to the first IPL, though he is going to be their bowling coach this season.

Player auction

The player auction was held on February 6 2009 in Goa. There was a two-million dollar cap for teams buying at the auction. The following acquisitions were made: [20]
