The much-anticipated IPL 2025 Mega Auction is on the horizon, promising a massive reshuffle of teams. Following the 2024 mini-auction, the 2025 edition will see teams retaining only a limited number of players, with the remaining players heading back to the auction pool. The auction is expected to take place between December 2024 and February 2025.
IPL 2025 Mega Auction Date
The IPL Mega Auction is likely to be spread over two days, similar to the 2022 edition. The 2023 and 2024 auctions were both held in December, so it’s possible that IPL 2025 could follow suit and occur between December 2024 and February 2025.
Will Rohit Sharma Quit T20i?
With the 17th IPL season concluded, discussions have already begun about the next edition. IPL chairman has confirmed that the 2025 auction will feature some exciting developments, such as the return of the right to match card for each franchise.
How Many Players Will Be Allowed in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction?
While there is no fixed limit on the number of players allowed to register for the auction, it largely depends on sign-ups and player approvals from their respective boards. IPL chairman Dhumal has indicated that teams will likely be allowed to retain only 3-4 players, similar to the 2022 mega auction. This auction saw 204 players sold for a total of Rs. 551 crore.
If the retention limit is capped at four players per team, the IPL 2025 Mega Auction could see similar figures, though official confirmation is expected soon.
IPL 2025 Mega Auction Expected Venues
Like IPL 2024, the 2025 season is expected to be played in a home-and-away format. However, teams may face each other more frequently as the number of matches is set to increase. Broadcasters have proposed 84 matches for IPL 2025, compared to 74 this year, with the number expected to rise to 94 by 2027.
Categories of Players in IPL 2025 Mega Auction
There are several categories of players in the IPL auction, including:
- Capped Players: Indian players who have represented the senior national team.
- Uncapped Players: Domestic Indian players who have not represented India at the senior level.
- Non-Indian Players: Capped or uncapped players from associate nations, with each team allowed to retain a maximum of eight foreign players.
