  "account": "In the Indian Premier League (IPL), players cannot be traded without first signing a BCCI consent form, which is entirely up to the player's choice. The form initiates trade talks only when it reaches the BCCI. Once a player consents to being traded, the selling franchise determines the bid, not the player. A player who declines to sign the form cannot be moved regardless of any prior agreement between the franchises.",
