BCCI to hold IPL 2025 player auction overseas in November end or early December: Reports

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly looking to hold the Indian Premier League 2025 player auction overseas in November end or early December. The BCCI is also expected to announce the retention rules and potential auction date in the next two days.

According to a report from IANS, the top cricket governing body will announce the highly-anticipated retention rules for the 2025 edition. Many teams have previously reported their voice



against the mega auction as they are not able to keep a hold of their core team.

"IPL 2025 auction will take place in November end or early December this year. Rules of it will be out in a couple of days," BCCI sources told IANS.

Meanwhile, a report from Cricbuzz adds that the BCCI is looking at overseas options for the IPL 2025 auction. Saudi Arabia is showing a strong interest in hosting the two-day event after Dubai held the event in 2024.
