Franchises, franchisees
It makes sense to buy out a player's contract who is not available and bid for someone who will play throughout the tournament," said a senior official of one of the franchises.
The IPL has also left the door open for other teams to follow suit by extending the deadline to buy out player's contracts till 11.59 am on Tuesday with the auction process starting at noon.
There are 67 players on the auction list, including Mohammad Kaif who was released by Rajasthan Royals, with 12 slots to be filled among the eight franchisees at the time of going to press.
Could you please explain to me what "franchises" and "franchisees" means in this context?

To answer this fully, one would need a knowledge of how Indian cricket is organised, which unfortunately I don't have. I suppose "franchise" refers, in the usual way, to the authorisation, granted by some umbrella organisation, that allows a team (or group of teams, or league), to operate within the cricketing system. A "franchisee" is, as usual, a holder of a franchise.
