The new WPL retention rules have me thinking of the old railway stall near the station. Last week, I saw a young girl haggling for a Shobha De paperback, and the vendor gave it for fifty rupees because she reminded him of his daughter—there is a fairness in that exchange I trust more than these big auction calculations. These franchises treat girls like commodities to be bid and kept, but tell me, which accountant in Patna would value a player by her boundary count over her heart for the game? The uncapped teenager everyone is talking about will likely vanish after one season, like the chai blend I tried last Tuesday—too much cardamom, no substance.

The chai-wallah's kindness is a beautiful thing, bhala lagil, but he'd go bankrupt if he ran his stall on heart alone. These auction numbers and retention rules are messy, but they're trying to make sure the uncapped teenager gets a fair shot and doesn't vanish like your paperback. I'd rather trust a system that sets a price for everyone than leave it to chance that every girl reminds a rich uncle of his daughter.
