The upcoming season of IPL will be full of excitement. This time a mega auction will be organized before the next season. In such a situation, many players can move from one team to another. Before the mega auction, all the teams will have to declare the list of their released and retained players. Earlier, big news has come out from the RCB camp. It is being said that the franchise may release captain Faf du Plessis, star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green.
Retention rules may change
Let us tell you that according to the rules of IPL, all teams are allowed to retain only 4 players before the mega auction. But there are reports that this time the number of retained players will increase. For IPL 2025, all teams will be able to retain six players instead of four. Know which players RCB can retain in such a situation.
Captain Du Plessis will be dropped
Faf du Plessis has retired from international cricket long ago. He plays very little cricket now. In such a situation, Royal Challengers Bangalore can release him before the next season considering his age. Whereas Glenn Maxwell's performance in the last season was very disappointing. Maxwell flopped badly with the bat in IPL 2024. Due to this, Bangalore can release both these players.
RCB will release Cameron Green
Cameron Green was traded by RCB from Mumbai Indians before IPL 2024. Green did not perform as expected in the last season. Now the news is that RCB is going to drop him.
RCB will retain these players
According to the report, Royal Challengers Bangalore will retain former captain Virat Kohli, opener Will Jacks, middle-order batsman Rajat Patidar and fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal and Vijay Kumar for IPL 2025. If only 4 players are allowed to be retained, then the franchise can retain Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal.
