Personnel changes for the 2025 IPL
The 2025 Indian Premier League will be the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League , a franchise Twenty20 cricket league held in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India . The Auction for the 2025 season will be the 6th IPL mega-auction[ 1] [ 2] after 2008 ,[ 3] 2011 ,[ 4] 2014 ,[ 5] 2018 [ 6] and 2022 .[ 7] In a mega-auction, most of the players, apart from a selection of retained players, will return to the auction pool. The current IPL system is to hold a mega-auction once every three years, with mini auctions being held in the intermediate seasons.[ 8] [ 9]
The rules and regulations for the 2025 auction were announced on 29 September 2024.[ 10] [ 11] The mega-auction will be held on 24 and 25 November 2024 in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia .[ 12] A total of 1,574 players registered for the auction.[ 13] A total of 574 players will be featured in the mega auction.[ 14] In November 2024, Mallika Sagar was appointed as the auctioneer to host the 2025 Indian Premier League auction.[ 15] [ 16]
The ten IPL franchise teams could retain a maximum of six players from their squad, which is the highest in the history of IPL mega-auctions. Five player retentions and one "Right To Match (RTM)" option is available for each franchise. Out of the six retentions a maximum of five capped players (including Indian and overseas players) could be retained and a maximum of two uncapped players could be retained.[ 19] [ 20]
The franchises were required to submit their retention lists before 5 PM IST on 31 October 2024.[ 21] [ 22]
The auction purse for each franchise is set at ₹ 120 crore (US$14 million), the highest in the history of IPL.[ 33] The salary cap of a player would consist of auction purse, incremental performance pay and match fees. Each playing member (including the Impact player) will get a match fee of ₹ 7.5 lakh (US$9,000) in addition to their auctioned price, first such instance in the IPL.[ 34]
Any overseas player will have to register for the mega-auction . Overseas players failing to register for the mega-auction would be become ineligible to participate in the following year's mini auction as well.[ 35] If an auctioned player withdraws before the season commences, they would be banned from IPL for the next two years.[ 36] Any Indian capped player who hasn't played in the starting XI in international cricket (Test , ODI , T20I ) in the preceding five calendar years or doesn't have a central contract with the BCCI will become an uncapped player for the auction.[ 37] [ 38] [ 39] [ 40]
