'What is Mega Auction?'

'What are the rules for retaining players?'

Currently, as per the retention rules for the auction, a team can retain a maximum of 4 players. In such a situation, teams get a chance to retain 4 players. Any team is allowed to have a maximum of 2 foreign players.

'The decision to retain 8 players was wrong'

On April 16, BCCI held a meeting with the owners of IPL teams regarding the mega auction in Ahmedabad. In which there was discussion on increasing the number of players retained in the mega auction. IPL team owners had different opinions on this. While many team owners welcomed the proposal, others opposed it. Due to the absence of big names in the auction, IPL team owners will not get a chance to build a strong team by retaining 8 players.
