IPL 2025 Retention Rules

• Each team can retain six players from their existing squad, either via retention or by using the Right to Match (RTM) option.
• The franchise can decide their combination for Retentions and RTMs.
• A team can retain a maximum of five capped players whether Indian or Overseas and a maximum of 2 uncapped players.
• The auction purse value of each team has been set at INR 120 crores while it was INR 100 crores for the last auction.
  • The total salary cap will now consist of auction purse, incremental performance pay and match fees.
  • Previously in 2024, the total salary cap (auction purse + incremental performance pay) was INR 110 Crs which will now be INR 146 Crs (2025), INR 151 Crs (2026) and INR 157 Crs (2027).
• As an overseas player, he has to register for the Mega Auction. In case if he fails to do so, then he will be ineligible to register in the following year’s player auction.
• As per the new rule, an overseas player will have to mandatorily register for the mega auction (2025) if he fails to do so he will miss the subsequent small auction too.
• If any player registers in the player auction and after getting picked by a team and later makes himself unavailable before the start of the season, he will get banned from participating in the tournament and player auction for two seasons.
• A capped player will be considered an uncapped player if the player has not featured in the starting XI in any international games(Test, T20I, ODI) in the last five calendar years or does not have a Central Contract with BCCI. This will only be applicable to the Indian players.
• BCCI will finalize the auction players list and group them into three different categories: Capped, Uncapped, and Overseas players.
  • Capped – Indian players who represented the country’s senior team in any format at least once.
  • Uncapped – Indian domestic players who are in the first-class circuit but haven’t represented India in any international matches.
  • Overseas – Players who are not from India. This category will contain all capped, uncapped non-Indian players.
• A team can compromise a minimum of 18 players and a maximum of 25 players in their squad.
• A team can hold a maximum of eight foreign players with only four being allowed to field at one time during the match.

IPL 2025 Player Salary Cap

BCCI also explained the salary cap for the retained players based on the team’s decision on the number of players retained. Following are the salary cap details announced by the BCCI for the 2025 season.

Frachinse can retain a maximum of five capped players (Indian/Overseas) and a maximum of two uncapped players. Each uncapped player’s retention cost will be valued at INR 4 crores and the amount will be subtracted from the total purse for each team which is INR 120 crores.

The five-capped player retention will be valued as follows:

• Retained Player 1 – INR 18 crores
• Retained Player 2 – INR 14 crores
• Retained Player 3 – INR 11 crores
• Retained Player 4 – INR 18 crores
• Retained Player 5 – INR 14 crores

If a team decides to retain a total of six players which consists of five capped and one uncapped player then a total of INR 79 crores will be deducted from the purse value and the team will have INR 41 crore to spend during the auction. As the team retained six players they will not be eligible to use the RTM option.

If a team decides to retain a total of five players which consists of four capped and one uncapped then a total of INR 65 crores will be deducted from the team’s purse value and will be left out with INR 55 crores to spend during the auction event.

How does RTM work in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction?

A franchise makes use of the RTM option to retain their existing player during the auction. A team’s RTM count will be decided based on the number of retentions.

EX: If a team retains four players out of their six retentions, then the team will have two RTMs.

BCCI made some updates on the way the Right To Match (RTM) works in the auction. Previously, the team could simply agree to match the highest bid amount at the auction to claim the player but this time around, the highest bidder will be given one final opportunity to further raise their bid before the team holding the RTM claims the player.

For Example: If Faf du Plessis is being auctioned and Chennai Super Kings has placed the highest bid of INR 8 crores for him, then Royal Challengers Bengaluru(Faf’s current IPL franchise) will be asked if they wish to use their RTM(if they have one).

If RCB agrees, then CSK will be given one more chance to increase and place a final bid.

If CSK now raise it to INR 10 crores, then RCB can use their RTM and re-sign Faf du Plessis for INR 10 crores if not CSK will bag Faf du Plessis for the same amount(INR 10 Crore).
