In the last few seasons, players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Harry Brook and Wanindu Hasaranga withdrew their names without any solid reason. Apart from this, there is a constant discussion about the number of players retained. Currently, teams are allowed to retain only four players before the mega auction.
There is talk of increasing the number of retained players to 8. Now it will be interesting to see whether the number of retained players increases or not. Apart from this, the franchise has made some other demands as well. Now it remains to be seen what decision BCCI takes regarding retention for the upcoming IPL season.
