‘IPL auction is a level playing field,’ says Saba Karim

Saba Karim feels that understanding the core makes the job easier in filling the vacant spots

Delhi Capitals’ talent search head Saba Karim feels it’s a level playing field in this year’s IPL auction as all teams will look for the right mix of capped, uncapped and overseas players leading to a “healthy atmosphere” for domestic cricketers.

“We need to be extremely fluid and flexible. To have that core factor involved not only helps Delhi Capitals but also other teams because you get seven domestic players in the eleven,” Karim was quoted a saying in a media release.

“You need to have right kind of mix between the capped and uncapped players, and on top of that, you have those four foreigners. It’s a level playing field. All the teams would vie to spot the right kind of domestic talent.”
