Amid the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, Indian cricket fans are also excited about the latest developments in the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL). According to the latest update, Dubai is likely to host the upcoming player auction in December 2023. If it happens, it will be the first time in the last few years that a player auction will be held on foreign soil.
According to the latest news, Dubai is likely to host a player auction on December 18 or 19. The trade window is also open for now, as teams can trade players before the final retention list. It is worth noting that the auction for Women’s Premier League season 2 is likely to take place on December 9. The venue is yet to be decided and is likely to be in India. The final retention list for the second edition was announced by franchises last week.
It is worth noting that last year, the Indian Cricket Board tried to organise the auction in Istanbul but eventually ended up in Kochi. However, all ten teams have been informed about the possible venues, and the final decision will be taken in a few weeks. Meanwhile, the trading window has been quite quiet, as not a single exchange has been made. It might be due to the end of the three-year contract cycle, which might force teams to release heavy-budget players instead of trading.
No clarity over WPL 2024, teams in jeopardy
Ahead of the player auction for season two of the Women’s Premier League, the Indian Cricket Board has yet to reveal the venue and dates. Teams have started preparing for the auction, which is likely to take place in the first week of December. However, any official input has yet to be released by the Indian Cricket Board.
It is worth noting that the second season of WPL is likely to be organised in February 2024. The senior women’s team has international commitments until mid-January. However, the board has yet to convey the final dates and venues for the prestigious tournament. The teams are also waiting for word on the details of the venues. It’s still in jeopardy if the event is organised in a single city, like the last edition, or if it is spread across the country.
Here is how fans react to the latest updates on the IPL and WPL:
