The IPL 2025 season will be played in April next year. A mega auction will be held before that. Earlier it was reported that the retention policy would be released by the end of August. But now it has been postponed for a few more days. Meanwhile, it has been learned that this time the BCCI can make some special announcement regarding uncapped players, which has never happened before. Some teams can get direct benefit from this. But for now we have to wait for it.
IPL retention policy will come at the end of this month
The IPL retention policy will come by the end of August. Earlier, there was a ruckus when the BCCI called all the team owners for a meeting and asked for their opinion. There is a ruckus because some teams want more retention and some less. In such a situation, the matter could not be resolved.
A report has revealed that the new retention policy may take ten days to two weeks. That is, overall a retention policy will be issued by the end of September, which will reveal how many players the teams can retain before the auction for the new season. BCCI's AGM is also on 29 September. Although it has nothing to do with the IPL directly, it is believed that a new retention policy may come around it.
How many players can be retained?
IPL owners are also waiting for the retention policy so that they can know how many players will be retained. According to the report, it will probably be announced by the end of September. Meanwhile, the news coming in suggests that the auction for next year will be held in December itself. In such a situation, the teams will have to declare the list of their retained and released players by November 15.
Will the RTM rule come back?
Meanwhile, the biggest thing that has come out in this report is that it is being said that RTM i.e. Right to Match Card will also be used in the auction. Which was introduced by BCCI in the 2014 IPL, but was later removed. This time it is being said that many teams have demanded it, so it is being considered to implement it again and it may come. Not only this, the biggest change will be that players who have retired from international cricket will be included in the list of uncapped players.
This means that players who have not played international cricket till date were uncapped, but now players who have retired will also be uncapped. This means that it is possible that former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni will also be included in the uncapped list. This means that a lot of interesting things are going to happen, but it will be confirmed when BCCI makes the final announcement.
