IPL 2025, There is a lot of discussion about the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 right now because a mega-player auction is to be organized before the upcoming season, in which many big changes will be seen in all the teams. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet issued rules regarding player retention, which all the 10 franchises and fans are eagerly waiting for because only after this will it be clear which team can retain how many players before the auction and, apart from this, whether there will be a Right to Match (RTM) card or not. Now a big update has come out in a statement given by a BCCI source regarding this.
Mega player auction may happen in late November or early December
IPL 2025 mega player auction, a BCCI source told IANS in his statement that the board will issue the rules regarding the auction in the next few days. At the same time, it can be organized at the end of November or early December this year. In the last 10 years, the mega player auction has been organized 3 times in the IPL, once in the year 2014 and the second time in the year 2018 when the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings returned to the IPL after a ban of 2 years. At the same time, in 2021, due to the Corona pandemic, the mega player auction was postponed for a year, after which it was organized in 2022.
There is a problem regarding the rules of retention policy
In the last mega-player auction held by the BCCI in the year 2022, all the teams were allowed to retain a maximum of four players. This time, in the meeting with the franchises regarding the retention policy, they want to increase the number of players to be retained. Some teams are in favor of retaining at least 8 players, while others are happy with the old rule. In such a situation, all eyes are also on how many players the BCCI allows to retain.
