IPL to ban foreign players withdrawing after being picked up at auction
IPL mega auction for 2025 season likely to be held overseas on Nov 15
Indian Premier League (IPL) has decided to ban foreign players missing the season after being picked up at the auction. The players will be banned for two years for withdrawing after being bought at the auction, barring a medical situation confirmed by the player's home board.
The move, requested by the franchises, is aimed at stopping foreign players leaving the team in lurch and throwing their game plans in disarray. The development was reported by cricket news website ESPNCricinfo citing a document shared by the franchise which carried retention rules.
"Any player who registers for [an] auction and after getting picked at the auction, makes himself unavailable before the start of the season, will get banned from participating in the IPL/IPL auction for two seasons," read the document, with the only exception being "an injury/medical condition, which will have to be confirmed by the [player's] home board."
In addition, the foreign players will also have to registerfor the mega auction in order to be a part of the subsequent mini auctions. This will stop players from going for money in the mini auction, where the franchises tend to spend big bucks.
"Any overseas player will have to register for the big auction. In case the player does not register, then he will have to miss the subsequent small auction. The only exception will be in case of an injury/medical condition, which will have to be confirmed by the [player's] home board before the big auction."

There will also be a maximum fee for the foreign players in the mini auction, as the IPL document said: "Any overseas player's auction fee at small auction will be lower of the highest retention price [of INR 18 crore] or the highest auction price at the big auction. In case the highest auction price at big auction is 20 crs [INR 20 crore], then 18 crs [INR 18 crore] will be the cap. If the highest auction price at big auction is 16 crs [INR 16 crore] then the cap will be 16 crs [INR 16 crore]."
