IPL Auction Rules And Regulations
Understanding retention rules prior to bidding in any auction is vitally important. For the IPL 2024 season, each franchise may retain four players for free at most; they cannot retain more than three Indian and two overseas players at one time and two uncapped players cannot be retained more than twice; upon doing so, IPL deducts an appropriate sum from your purse accordingly.
When teams retain four players, the IPL deducts INR 42 crore from their total purse of INR 90 crore; costs associated with retained players may differ according to priority; for instance, first choice player receives INR 16 crore while secondary choice players and third choice receive INR 12 crore and 8 crore, with fourth choice receiving 6 crore respectively. When teams opt to retain three players instead, however, only 33 crore is deducted.
Retention processes provide teams with a crucial basis on which to build strategies for the coming season. Retained players embodied their team’s ethos and strategic vision – becoming essential members of its squad.
Player Releases and IPL Trade Deals
Retention in the IPL refers to teams’ goal of maintaining their core, while teams also have the option to release players ahead of the auctions. Any number of players can be released; however, an “icon” player cannot be traded away as this process does not apply. Trade deals take place outside auction windows for various strategic considerations or team requirements/performance evaluations that affect these deals.
When conducting a trade deal involving multiple franchises showing interest in one player, the selling franchise may decide where he/she goes; however, his/her approval must also be obtained for this to take place.
The Excitement of the Auction
IPL auctions are always very exciting event of cricket history which makes the teams fight against each other for the top players as they want to maintain perfect team balance.
