List of retained players from IPL 2025: A mega auction will be held ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. This auction could take place in late November or early December this year. But before that, the 10 franchises will have to prepare and present the list of their retained and released players. Its last date is tomorrow (October 31). The festival of Diwali is also celebrated on this day.
Let us tell you that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently issued new rules regarding retention. According to this, a franchise can only retain a maximum of 6 players. If a team retains less than 6 players, then in that case the franchise will have the opportunity to use the Right to Match card during the auction.
Speculation began even before the official list of retained players was revealed. If reports are to be believed, Gujarat Titans (GT) may release Mohammed Shami. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul may join the auction pool. Let us know which players can retain the 10 franchises…

– Instead of holding all players, you can also use the right to call.

There is a big question mark over Jos Buttar due to injuries, so it will be interesting to see what HR does.
