Earlier, a few reports suggested that teams will be allowed as many as five retentions before the IPL 2025 auction. Further, they will also have one Right To Match (RTM), which they can use during the auction proceedings.
If the IPL Governing Council approves five retentions for the upcoming edition, it will be the most retentions ahead of the mega auction. Previously in the IPL 2022 mega auction, teams were allowed to retain four players in four different retention slabs.
The venue for the IPL 2025 auction is undecided yet. However, it might take place in a Gulf city.
Even the IPL 2024 auction occurred overseas in Dubai, and an overseas venue might be finalised yet again. There’s no confirmation on the date, but the IPL 2025 auction might happen in late November.
