IPL changes its own rules within a month

Indian Premier that kicked off on Friday at Bangalore, the organisers of the Twenty20 tournament seem to have forgotten it by allowing some franchise teams to include additional players.

The Bangalore Royal Challengers, led by Rahul Dravid and owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, did not have Australian pace bowler Ashley Noffke in the final list of names, but he surprisingly made an appearance and played in the opener at the Chinnanwawamy Stadium yesterday.

Even the official website of the tournament in the second list of players representing all the eight franchise teams, did not have his name even a day after he had turned out for the Bangalore team.
