Reports of ''poaching': KL Rahul, Rashid Khan in demand

It has been speculated by many that KL Rahul could leave Punjab and be the captain of one of the two new IPL teams. Relatedly, a recent report in InsideSport said that some IPL teams are irked by approaches made to their players by other franchises.

"We have received a verbal complaint from two franchises about players poaching by Lucknow team. We are looking into it, and we will take appropriate action if it proves to be true. We don’t want to disturb the balance. You cannot avoid such things when there is fierce competition. But it’s not fair to the existing teams when they are trying to balance everything,” a senior BCCI official reportedly said.
