LSG retained and released List:One of the two newest additions to the IPL family, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has taken significant steps towards building a team for the future. KL Rahul-led franchise has released eight players, traded two and retained the remaining on the IPL 2024 retention day deadline. A team with a new backroom staff will enter the mini-auction scheduled for Tuesday (Dec 19) with a purse of just INR 13.9 crore.
Amid rumours of KL Rahul switching bases by joining his former franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore, the India batter will continue leading the Lucknow-based side in the 17th edition.
With a star-studded squad at the helm, LSG had a chance of putting its hands on the trophy last season but fell shy in the efforts. This time, with an eye on some new players on the auction day, Lucknow can push for the case of a title run in IPL 2024.

Also, they are the only franchise to trade out two players – Avesh Khan to RR and Romario Shepard to the Mumbai Indians.
