Meanwhile, discussions have started regarding the mega auction of the next season. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Before this mega auction, a big report has come out, actually the franchises want to change the number of players to be retained. BCCI is going to hold a meeting with all the 10 franchises on April 16 regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction. IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Franchises made big demands from the board The last mega auction of IPL took place in 2022, that year the rule was that franchises could retain 4 players. A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.
