Yes, totally agree. Also, his car and house should be confiscated and given to the BCCI. His head should be shaved in the market square and he should be pelted with smelly socks and soiled underpants until he apologises profusely for undermining the sanctity of the IPL and outrageously insulting its fans. Then he should be sentenced to life imprisonment at The Hague.

Ben Duckett’s last-minute withdrawal from the IPL is not just a “difficult personal decision,” it’s a serious breach of professional commitment that undermines the very structure of franchise cricket.
When a player enters the IPL auction and is picked by a franchise like Delhi Capitals, it sets off months of planning, strategy, and resource allocation. Pulling out at the eleventh hour disrupts team balance, forces last-minute scrambling, and disrespects both the franchise and its fanbase.
Yes, international cricket is important but that cannot become a convenient excuse to walk away from signed contracts whenever it suits individual priorities. If players are allowed to opt in and out of the IPL at will, it sets a dangerous precedent that weakens the league’s credibility and operational integrity.
The IPL and BCCI must take a firm, uncompromising stance here. This isn’t just about one player, it’s about protecting the sanctity of the tournament.
A strong deterrent is essential: a multi-year ban from the IPL, and serious consideration of restricting participation in bilateral series involving India, must be on the table.
Professional sport runs on accountability. You cannot enjoy the benefits of the IPL ecosystem and then abandon your obligations without facing consequences. If the league wants to maintain its global stature, such actions cannot go unpunished.

@LizKershawDJ I'm guessing none of the naysayers on here have actually had to deal with something like this and are just being obtuse on purpose
English

@LizKershawDJ Liz, I'm completely in agreement. These companies are parasites. For example, if my darling (she has early on dementia) wants to cut a visit short the carer only gets paid for the hours whilst the company charges us for the full hours. We're self funding so as DCC can't add up
English

A seriously ill loved one currently needs carers to help him stay out of hospital and in his own home. They are all wonderful. They tell me they are paid just £12.50/hour. I have asked the private company that supplies their services what they charge the #NHS. It's £29.50/hour. This is blatant profiteering by them and piss poor management of resourses by the #NHS
