The mega auction of IPL 2025 is going to decide the fate of many players. In such a situation, the fans and players involved in the league are eagerly waiting for it. For this, BCCI has also recently announced retention rules. However, no definite information has been given about when and where the mega auction will take place.
But now a big update has come out in this regard, in which the place and date of the mega auction has been revealed. According to a report, Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh is being considered as the most preferred venue for the event and BCCI may soon approve it.
Riyadh and Jeddah are next
BCCI is eyeing two cities of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh and Jeddah for the mega auction. Riyadh's name is at the forefront and it is possible that BCCI may approve it in a few days. According to reports, board officials have already visited both the cities. You can visit them again on Monday 21st October. According to a report, the mega auction of IPL 2025 can be held on 24 and 25 November. However, BCCI has not confirmed it yet.
4 cities rejected
The BCCI had earlier considered London, Dubai, Singapore and a city in Australia for the IPL 2025 mega auction. But now these four cities have been removed from the list. According to the report, London has been removed from the list because of its weather. While Australia has been left out due to the large difference in time zones. Actually, BCCI wants to keep the auction time in the afternoon as per Indian time. But there is a huge difference in the time between Australia and India.
The last auction of IPL was held in Dubai
Apart from this, broadcasters also became a big problem in this. Actually, the match is to be played between India and Australia from 22 to 26 November. Meanwhile, the BCCI also wanted to hold a mega auction and both have Disney Star as their broadcast partner. The last auction of IPL was held in Dubai. The board does not want to conduct mega auction here this time also.
