The IPL teams won't like that cause the England players are only showing up now, 5 games into the season.

I think the elite players will stay with the test sides for the most part, it's those last couple of years of the test career where I think the IPL will have an impact. The same thing has happened with Rugby League and Rugby Union, guys leaving their domestic sides and giving up the ability to be selected for national teams in order to make more money in the UK or France. In those sports even star players near their prime have made big moves, although the physical nature makes getting paid when you can more important.
