The mega auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is scheduled to take place in late November or early December, as confirmed by sources from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Detailed rules and regulations regarding the auction will be released in the coming days. This upcoming auction marks the third major auction in the IPL’s history, with previous auctions held in 2014 and 2018, both of which were spaced four years apart.
In 2014, the first significant auction saw various teams reshaping their rosters, while the 2018 auction was notable for the return of the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings after a two-year suspension. The 2021 auction was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an additional year being added to player contracts.
The 2025 auction is expected to be a two-day event, similar to past auctions. During the last major auction in 2022, teams could retain up to four players. As the three-year cycle nears its end, franchises are discussing whether to increase the retention cap to eight players or maintain the current limit of four or five. These discussions reflect the varying strategies teams wish to adopt ahead of the auction.
