As far as U19 players are concerned, they are also allowed to register for the auction but only if they are part of any state association and have played at least one game in either first-class cricket or in List A. Although the IPL 2021 auction date has not been confirmed by the BCCI. It might be wise to revisit the 2020 edition of IPL which took place amid plenty of odds and uncertainties.
With the COVID-19 pandemic exploding around the world and series across the globe getting postponed, the inevitability of IPL also loomed. While BCCI President Sourav Ganguly initially promised that the 13th edition of IPL will go as planned (starting date 29th March 2020), they had to defer it twice before conducting.
But looking at the financial impact BCCI was to suffer if the extravaganza had not taken place last year, they had to do something. Thus, the Indian cricket board began planning and it finally took shape in September after plenty of struggles. With India not looking like a promising venue, Sri Lanka and UAE offered to host the thirteenth season of the league. And having already staged it once, BCCI awarded UAE to do it.
And contrary to all the beliefs, it proved to be an incredible success. There was no bio-bubble breach due to which there were no COVID-19 positive cases. And against some theories, the matches contained the right balance between the bat and ball, backed up by some exciting games.
It was the Mumbai Indians – arguably the best side of the tournament left all the franchises dazed to capture their fifth title. In the process, they also became only the second team to defend their crown successfully. While major clouds remain on the IPL 2021 auction date, reports have emerged suggesting that it could take place on February 16.
IPL 2021 Auction Date Details:
With the stage set and as the time approaches for yet another season of the extravaganza, the preparations have already kickstarted. The IPL 2021 auction date could be 16th February and 20th January remains the last date for the eight franchises to submit the list of retained and released players. Although the IPL 2021 auction date has not been confirmed by the BCCI. With the COVID-19 pandemic still surging in India, BCCI has not announced the dates and kept UAE as a reserve venue.
Conducting the 14th edition of the cash-rich league would mean having a minimum of eight venues to have matches on a home-and-away basis. Staging the competition in the United Arab Emirates is to keep the fixtures at very minimum venues alongside minimal travelling. However, at present, all eight franchises are busy finalising the list of players they would want to retain and release.
Finalising the players’ list is arguably the inaugural step ahead of the auction as franchises prepare to plug some holes or to trigger sweeping changes accordingly. Initially, the BCCI planned for a mega auction; however, its Annual General Meeting stated that the two extra teams would arrive ahead of IPL 2022. The IPL will also increase the auction purse by INR 3 crores.
The eight teams involved could also transfer the players internally and as per altered rules, could now trade capped and uncapped players. Earlier, the teams could only exchange uncapped cricketers. The IPL 2021 auction date (IPL 2021 auction) will also facilitate the choice to retain three vital players alongside two cricketers through the Right To Match (RTM) option. The IPL 2021 auction date has not been confirmed by the BCCI. Although some media reports suggest that IPL 2021 Auction Date could be February 18.
