IPL money will give players stability: Pawar

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sharad Pawar is amused by the raging debate on whether India's cricket stars are being paid too much money under his stewardship, which has seen the launch of Indian Premier League (IPL) in which many cricketers hit the jackpot.

Big money is not going to spoil the country's young cricketers, he argues, saying "the money will provide stability to their lives and help them perform better."
