IPL 2024 Auction Date

As we approach the IPL 2024 Auction, the sporting world is largely focused on the 2023 World Cup and Asia Cup. The exact date and location of the IPL 2024 Auction will be confirmed post-World Cup 2023. The potential venues being considered are Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Jaipur. Unlike prior auctions, there is now no cap on player retention; teams can retain their full squad, though such a scenario may be unlikely. Moreover, the budget for teams has been boosted from Rs 95 crore to Rs 100 crore. Please scroll down for more details.

A BCCI official stated, “Our current attention is on the World Cup, and we will shift our focus towards the IPL once we’ve handled all details of the former. The IPL 2024 Auction is likely to occur in the last month of the year, probably around the third or fourth week of December. But this will be officially discussed in an upcoming IPL GC meeting”. Teams will need to disclose their retained players before the auction begins.

Remember, while there are no constraints on the number of players that can be retained from last season’s squad, some teams are already preparing for the upcoming auction. The Delhi Capitals, who had to compete without Rishabh Pant in IPL 2023, are expected to be very active in the auction. Don’t be taken aback if Delhi Capitals decide to let go of several players from their current squad. Saurav Ganguli and Ricky Ponting are likely already strategizing for the impending auction.
