The 2009 Indian Premier League season will be the second season of the Indian Premier League, established by the BCCI in 2007. The second edition is scheduled between April 18 and May 24, 2009.[1] Though India will not host the second season, the format of the tournament will remain unchanged from the 2008 season format.[2] South Africa will host the second season of the 2009 Indian Premier League. The eight franchises will first play against one another in a league on home-and-away basis. The top four teams will then figure in the two semi-finals and a final.
Because the second season of the IPL coincided with multi-phase 2009 Indian general elections, India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) refused to commit security by Indian paramilitary forces. As a result, the BCCI decided to host the second season of the league outside India.[3] According to Lalit Modi, all the 59 matches of the second season, abbreviated as IPL2, will take place per schedule and an IPL official said that England and South Africa were the front-runners to host the league.[4][5] BCCI blamed the attitude of the UPA-led governments at the center and in Maharashtra and Andhara Pradesh for the decision.[6]

[edit] Changes
Some of the rules were changed for the 2009 edition of the IPL. The number of international players allowed in any one squad was increased from 8 to 10 although the number allowed in any playing 11 remains at 4. [7] The players purchase cap was increased from 5 to 7 million. The BCCI also negotiated with the ECB to allow English cricketers to participate in the 2009 edition of the IPL. English players will be allowed to play for 21 days in between their tour to West Indies and the subsequent return tour.[8] It is widely believed that England's decision to continue their 2008 tour of India in December after the 2008 Mumbai attacks created enough goodwill between the two boards for the arrangement to take place.
[edit] Pre-season trades and signings
[edit] Trade window
The trade window was held in late December 2008 and early January 2009. Teams were reluctant to trade initially due to the troubled economic times and the general desire to concentrate on building a well-rounded team as opposed to making profits out of trades.[9] Kolkata were initially inclined to present Pakistani express bowler Shoaib Akhtar for trade but later withdrew from a deal.[10][not in citation given]
[edit] Signings
With most international players (barring members of the England squad and Indian Cricket League players) signing up for the first season, the emphasis for off-season signings for 2009 were possible up-and-coming young players from international domestic circuits. Some teams, including the Delhi Daredevils sent scouts to domestic and 'emerging player' matches held in Australia to sign up players.[11]
Suggestions of a draft for young Indian players were not considered this season, although the Kolkata Knight Riders have formed a Talent Research Development Wing (TRDW) to spot young talent and have begun training young Indian prospects for future Kolkata duty.[10][not in citation given]
