New Delhi: The countdown for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction has begun after all ten franchises revealed their final list of retained players on October 31. While some franchises let go of a majority of their squad, some retained their core by spending big money on their retentions. All teams will be eagerly waiting for the IPL 2025 mega auction which is set to take place later this month.
As per a report in ANI, the IPL 2025 mega auction is likely to take place in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh. The two-day auction is likely to take place on November 24 and 25. If the auction takes place on the said dates, it will not be good news for the official broadcaster as the showpiece event will clash with the first Test between India and Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
India are scheduled to take on Australia in the 1st Test of the five-match series in Perth starting November 22. The BCCI and the IPL Governing Council might consider hosting the IPL 2025 mega auction in the afternoon time to avoid major conflict with the India-Australia Test series considering the time difference with Australia.
