IPL 2025 Auction 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 on a combination of 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 an 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).
- BCCI has set various retention slabs for the player’s retention. The first retention must be INR 18 crore, the second INR 14 crore, the third INR 11 crore, the fourth INR 18 crore, the fifth INR 14 crore and the uncapped Rs 4 crore but franchises are also allowed to divide the 75cr retention amount among 5 capped players.
- If a team choose to retain a player for more than INR 18 Cr then the franchise should retain their second or third player for less than the desired amount. Teams can flex the retention amount as they wish but should be within the designated amount of INR 43 Crore(18+14+11) for three retentions.
- Ex: If CSK wishes to retain Gaikwad, Jadeja and Dube as their first three retentions and decides to retain Gaikwad for INR 20 Cr(which is INR 2 Cr over the first retention amount), then CSK must retain Jadeja for INR 12 Cr or Dube for INR 9 Cr which in turn will meet the INR 43 crore budget for the first three retentions.

- 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.
