The BCCI announced that the mini-auction for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League will be held on February 18 at Chennai.
Ahead of the auction, all the eight franchises submitted the list of the retained players to the cricket board including Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Jason Roy. However, veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, along with Kedar Jadhav, Murali Vijay, Piysuh Chawla, and Shane Watson were let go by CSK and would be up for grabs.
As per a report in ANI, cricketers who don’t have a contract and wish to be a part of the auction will need to fill the player auction agreement by February 4.
The schedule and the venue for the upcoming edition of IPL is yet to be announced. Kings-XI-Punjab have the biggest purse of 53.2 crore going into the IPL 2021 auction while Delhi-Capitals with Rs 12.8 crore, have the lowest.
