BCCI CEO Hemang Amin set February 4 as the deadline for the Registration of new players to get enrolled for the IPL 2021 Auction. Earlier BCCI insists franchises to finalise the retained players list before January 20.
IPL 2021 New Players Registration
Indian players without a contract but who wish to be a part of the auction will need to fill the player auction agreement and submit it online on February 4 by 5 pm.
BCCI plans to host the IPL 2021 Auction in the mid of February with league matches between March-April.
IPL COO and interim BCCI CEO Hemang Amin sent an email to state associations explaining the process through which an Indian player – whether capped or uncapped – must register to participate in the 2021 edition of the league. The process isn’t applicable for players with a contract or who may get an extension prior to the auction.
“When the above registration is initiated by the state association, it will generate an email to the player with their login details so they can complete the registration process. Once registered, in order to express their interest in playing in the IPL 2021, the player should login to the online registration system,” read the mail.
“They will be required to complete all the fields and download and complete the IPL 2021 Player Auction Agreement. Once completed, the agreement must be uploaded back to the online registration system and the original sent or delivered to their respective state association. Please note physical signature of player is required on original auction agreement.”
BCCI will be in touch with state bodies
Amin also made it clear that the BCCI will not be dealing with any player agent or manager and all dealings will be done with the state bodies.
“Please note that, at this stage of the process, BCCI will only deal directly with the state associations and at no time will have any communication with player agents or managers. Any failure by a player to abide by this will (unless BCCI in its sole discretion decides otherwise) result in the player’s name being withdrawn with immediate effect from the IPL 2021 Auction Register and/or IPL 2021 Auction List (as appropriate),” he explained.
“An Indian U19 player may only register for the IPL 2021 Player Auction if the player is registered as a player with a State Association and has played in at least one match in either First Class cricket or List A cricket. For the 2021 Season, a U19 player is one who was born on or after 1 April 2002,” the mail said.
“Any uncapped player who has retired from domestic cricket can only submit his auction agreement for player registration after getting written approval from BCCI.”
