In 2023, the Veteran Saha Indian star who was released from his BCCI contract announced his retirement.

Posted on November 4, 2024 by [email protected]

One of India’s all-time best wicketkeepers, Wriddhiman Saha is set to retire from cricket altogether.

Wriddhiman Saha, one of the best wicketkeepers in Indian history, has declared his intention to retire from all tournaments. Saha stated on social media that following the current Ranji Trophy campaign, his cricketing career will come to an end. Saha intends to retire at the end of the season. But he is thrilled to be playing for Bengal for “one last time.” Saha, who is arguably the best wicketkeeper India has had in recent memory based only on his ability to keep wicket, is apparently not planning to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.

Before being released from the Central Contracts in 2023. He was often included in Team India’s Test plans, particularly at home. He has not returned to the Test side since his release.

Saha intends to avoid all facets of the game, including the IPL, according to a Sportstar article. According to reports, he hasn’t even registered for the massive auction that will happen later this month. Wriddhiman Saha has not yet formally stated his position on playing in the IPL. But rumors indicate that his time with the Gujarat Titans during the 2024 season was his final one in the T20 tournament.

GT did not keep Saha prior to the IPL 2025 mega auction. Since the league’s first season in 2008, he has played in every season, making him one of the few players still in the league.

Throughout his career, the seasoned wicketkeeper has represented five different teams: the Gujarat Titans (GT), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Punjab Kings (PBKS), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Shreyas Iyer is unlikely to stay with KKR.

Posted on October 30, 2024 by [email protected]

The Kolkata Knight Riders are letting go of Shreyas Iyer. In talks with the team’s management, the Mumbai batter has shown himself to be a tough negotiator, seemingly compelling the reigning champions to give up on their skipper.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will receive KKR’s retention list on Thursday night. It is now expected that he will not be on it. Even though exercising the Right to Match (RTM) card is still an option, that will have to wait until later more specifically, until the auction time. Which is sometime next month.

Given that Indian players are typically chosen by teams as captains. Especially after KKR won the championship the previous season. He could be a candidate for leadership roles. IPL rumors state that a few organizations have apparently approached him. Shreyas Iyer was allegedly requesting an outrageous fee.

Even though one is permitted to have a heightened picture of one’s résumé. IPL professionals usually discuss whether fitness concerns, prior performances, and present international status exactly add up before making a decision on a player. It’s no secret that the IPL’s valuation is determined by extensive statistical analysis.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Shreyas Iyer was purchased by KKR in the 2022 auction, and his current IPL pay is INR 12.25 crore. He averaged 30.85 while scoring 401 runs in 14 games during the season. Due to five innings without a loss in the 2024 season, he scored 50 fewer runs at an average of 39. He had to get surgery for a recurrent back ailment that kept him out of the 2023 season. He has amassed 3127 runs at an average of 32.24 with a strike rate of 127.48 during nine seasons and 115 games. After skipping a Ranji Trophy match the previous season. He lost favor with the national selectors and is currently without a central BCCI contract.

The question of whether teams can have conversations with players. While they are still under contract with a franchise is a hot topic among the teams ahead of the IPL retention. It has been related to certain individuals. The BCCI has even been made aware of this problem.

IPL

Since player agents are thought to be rather active behind the scenes. It is probable that they are conducting the discussions. They are promising and discussing astronomical amounts. However, the question still stands: how can a player be confident they will receive a sizable bid at the auction, whose dynamics are infamously uncertain?

The new RTM rule, which permits a club to increase a player’s bid to a predetermined amount only in the event that the franchise holding the RTM card exercises the option, is a likely solution. They might decide not to utilize it, which is always a possibility.

In the event that Player X enters the auction with a guaranteed INR 25 crore and the bidding ends at INR 15 crore, for instance, the rival team can only increase the price to INR 25 crore. If the original franchise chooses to exercise the RTM. In the absence of that RTM, the player might receive less than INR 15 crore. So what?

This investigation focuses on players who are assured high bids at the auction prior to the retention deadline. If not specifically one player. With ten teams and six RTMs each, there may be at least 25 RTMs at the auction, if not all 60. There is always a danger that the guarantee and pre-bid agreement will get broken.

IPL GC will meet on Saturday, accordingly a retention announcement is expected soon.

Posted on September 28, 2024September 28, 2024 by [email protected]

The Governing Council will convene today, thus it is anticipated that the much-awaited announcement regarding the revised retention rules for the Indian Premier League (IPL) would come shortly. Although it may take a full day to make the announcement. A formal decision may be made in the coming hours.

It is confirmed by Cricbuzz that the IPL Governing Council meeting has been set for this Saturday, September 28. If reports are to be trusted, it will happen in the new NCA center in Bengaluru at 6:30 PM.

The decision to summon the IPL GC for Saturday came at the last minute because the members had only received notification of the meeting on Friday night. Following the meeting, an announcement is usually forthcoming. There is a belief, nevertheless, that the retention decision—a significant policy decision at that may be presented to the crucial general assembly on Sunday in Bengaluru. Before being made public.

In addition to determining the quantity of retentions. The GC is anticipated to make decisions regarding the mega-auction’s timing and location. As of right moment, it’s said to happen near the end of November and might take place in a Gulf city. The auction is expected to be much anticipated in Saudi Arabia as well. If the GC gives its approval, it might possibly take place in Riyadh.

There is a great deal of conjecture about the retentions; estimates range from two to eight. The BCCI may decide to go with the RTM option and settle at a figure between 5 and 6.

In order to hear their opinions on a number of league-related issues, including retentions. The BCCI met with the owners of IPL teams at the end of July.

BCCI Will Continue With IPL Mega Auction Starting in 2025, Retaining Up to 6 Players.

Posted on August 9, 2024 by [email protected]

The most recent information on IPL 2025 indicates that, in spite of opposition from multiple clubs, BCCI intends to proceed with the massive auction.

The Roger Binny-led board is reportedly considering expanding the retention list to six players, including Right to Match (RTM). However, they do not support canceling the mega-auction, unlike some teams that proposed doing so during the recently concluded meeting at BCCI headquarters on July 31.

The mega-auction has become the subject of discussion. Some clubs have long complained that they had to start over and replace the players they scouted because of the mega-auctions. The BCCI, on the other hand, seems unfazed by the demands and does not wish to break with IPL history. The BCCI had previously only permitted four retentions in 2022 without an RTM clause.
