IPL 2023 Auction (Image Source: BCCI-IPL) IPL 2025 Mega Auction: IPL franchise owners and BCCI have a meeting in Mumbai on July 31 to discuss some key agendas ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. The biggest topic of discussion in the meeting will be the purse value of all IPL teams, which is likely to increase. Apart from this, the IPL Impact Player rules and the number of retentions per team during the IPL 2025 mega auction will also be discussed. What is the agenda of this meeting? Increase in purse value According to reports, the meeting between IPL franchise owners and BCCI will take place at the newly renovated BCCI office at the Wankhede Stadium. The IPL owners are reportedly excited as the purse value for each team is likely to increase. Currently, each side has a purse value of Rs 100 crore, so it is expected that the purse value will be increased by 20-25%. That means the purse value will now be Rs 120-125 crore. Higher purse value means that the franchises will have more room for manoeuvre and will be able to bid at any price for their top players. Impact player rule may be abolished Apart from this, there could also be a push to abolish the impact player rule, which has been heavily criticised by former cricketers and legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Increase in the number of players to be retained The number of players to be retained ahead of the mega auction may be increased from four to five. Notably, in the last IPL mega auction, the BCCI allowed each side to retain four players, but this year the number may increase to five to keep all the franchises happy. Naturally, IPL teams that have performed well will want to retain their core players. While other teams that have not had as much success will want to reset their squad. A source said- “Obviously, continuity and maintaining a core is very important going forward. Maybe six (retentions) will be allowed, which will include some RTM cards. That means at least one uncapped player will also be included in the retention. But there may be some debate on the number of foreign retentions.” “There are teams like Delhi Capitals (Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head) who would want more than one overseas retention,”

Meanwhile, before the IPL 2024 starting from March 22, Australian legend Glenn McGrath has advised Jasprit Bumrah to keep taking breaks in between to avoid injury in the coming days. Because his bowling action, run-up and steps can cause him injury. Glenn McGrath warns Jasprit Bumrah According to PTI, Glenn McGrath, speaking at the MRF Pace Foundation, said: “The last two steps that Jasprit Bumrah takes while bowling the ball are just putting power into the crease. Thus, its speed increases, and this is where it gets its speed. A player like Bumrah needs an off-season because he puts a lot of himself into every ball. Due to putting in so much effort he needs a break. If he continues to play, there will be a lot of pressure on him given his bowling action, due to which he is bound to get injured, as has happened before.” Jasprit Bumrah will join MI camp on this date Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah has not yet joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) camp and now it is being said that the star fast bowler will be in Ahmedabad for his first IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on March 21 on March 24.
