An official announcement was recently made as to which teams have retained whom.
(Full details of retention: (IPL Retention Live: 8 teams … Do you know who has retained whom? This is the official list!)
There are so many players:
A total of 8 teams have retained 27 players. No team has retained players like KL Rahul, Rashid Khan and Shreyas. The team is expected to retain key players like Rahul and Rashid Khan as the BCCI has said that the mega new two teams can retain two domestic players and one foreign player.
Mega Auction:
Information on when the mega auction will take place has been leaked from the BCCI. Accordingly, the mega auction will be held on February 7,8. It has been reported that arrangements are being made to hold the auction in Bangalore. Prior to this, the auction was held for two days in 2018.
Why the delay?
The newly-joined Ahmedabad team has been accused of investing in a casino. The BCCI is investigating the matter. The date for the mega auction has been postponed because the trial is still a few weeks away.
