The schedule for the mega auction for the Indian Premier League (IPLT20) has been finalized. It will be held on February 12 and 13 in Bangalore. 10 teams will participate in the IPL Auction this year.
There were reports that the auction will be held in the UAE but as of now, BCCI has no such plans. However with the emergence of Omicron variant of COVID-19 and cases on the rise, the situation will remain fluid but if there are restrictions with regards to overseas travel (unless all owners decide to use charter planes), conducting it in India will be less of a logistical nightmare.
This year’s IPL will be a 10-team affair with Sanjiv Goenka owned Lucknow franchise along with venture capital firm CVC owned Ahmedabad making their debut in the cash-rich league.
The BCCI has written to International boards and state associations recently to send in the names of the players to be enrolled for the auction by January 17. The mega event, being held for 10 teams this year, will have more than 1000 players with as many as between 200 to 250 expected to go under the hammer.
