Indian T20 League 2023: Full list of Retained Players, Players Released, Purse Remaining- All you need to know

Team India are currently playing a white-ball series in New Zealand but the fans are eagerly awaiting for the Indian T20 League mini-auction, which is scheduled to be held on 23rd December 2022 in Kochi. It is pertinent to note that the last date of the players’ registration is 15th December 2022.

“December 15 is the player registration deadline. We expect some top players to enroll. As for the auction date, December 23 is the set date for now. We are discussing some franchises’ requests to advance the date. But there are other factors involved. Only after deliberation with all stakeholders, we will come to a decision,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying to InsideSport.

Some big names are being released by the franchises for the next edition. A lot of them will find themselves at the auction pool and, without a doubt, it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
