Overview
- The auction will be a one-day event at a hotel in New Delhi’s Aerocity, according to briefings to teams.
- Retention lists are due November 5 with a maximum of five players allowed, capped at three capped Indians, two overseas and two uncapped, and at least one uncapped if all five are kept.
- Each team has an INR 15 crore purse, with fixed retention slabs of ₹3.5cr, ₹2.5cr, ₹1.75cr, ₹1.0cr and ₹0.5cr, and any excess pay to a retained player also reducing the purse.
- The Right-to-Match card returns for this cycle, and multiple reports say teams that retain all five players will not be eligible to use RTMs, though this detail is reported inconsistently.
- Player registration is reported to close November 18 with the final auction list expected November 20, as teams reassess priorities after India’s World Cup win.
