BCCI Set to Announce IPL 2025 Retention Rules Allowing Five Players

The upcoming mega auction will see no Right to Match (RTM) cards, with franchises eager to retain their core squads.

The BCCI is expected to formally announce the IPL 2025 player retention rules, allowing teams to retain up to five players.
The Right to Match (RTM) option, which allowed teams to re-sign released players by matching the highest bid, will be scrapped this year.
Franchises like Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians are keen to retain their core players, including stars like Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah.
Speculation surrounds MS Dhoni's future with CSK, as he has returned to India amid ongoing discussions about his potential retention.
The mega auction is anticipated to take place at the end of November or early December, with official rules expected to be released soon.
