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

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.
