As per the confirmation of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council chairman, the ‘Mega Auction’ is scheduled for IPL 2025. Teams can alter the composition of their core teams at each Mega Auction, which takes place every three years. The date and place of the mega auction will be announced when it is appropriate by the BCCI.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction is a crucial component. A chance for teams to rotate their lineups and add both domestic and foreign players with elite status.Player auctions were introduced with the 2008 IPL season, and this altered the cricket scene’s dynamics.
According to a report in Cricbuzz, the Indian Premier League (IPL) player retention criteria will be announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) before the end of August. According to the article, the Indian cricket body is not currently planning to modify things, despite some franchises expressing a wish to do away with the “Mega Auction.” Instead, BCCI is set to enable six retentions, including the Right to Match (RTM) option for all ten teams.
Increasing the number of games from 74 to 84 for the upcoming season will be a hot topic of conversation as well. Based on the home and away schedule, there should ideally be 94 matches total, including the playoffs and the final, but this hasn’t happened in line with the IPL’s increase from eight to ten clubs.
Speaking at the recent meeting, Jay Shah stated: “We had a long conversation with the franchise owners.” Every rule has advantages and disadvantages. Essentially, it eliminates the need for the all-arounder in the role. Advantage: An Indian player now has a platform to display his abilities. Since the broadcaster is making a large payment, we should also consider them. For me, though, the stakes are higher because I am an administrator.
