The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be a grand affair and fans can’t keep calm. On Tuesday (February 1), BCCI announced the list of players going under the hammer in the player’s auction, which is scheduled to take place in February 12 and 13 in Bangalore. As many as 590 players have made it to the list and they would be eyeing to fetch substantial bids from the franchises.
Among the 590 players who have registered for the auction, 228 are capped players, 355 are uncapped players and 7 belong to Associate Nations. INR 2 crore is the highest reserve price and a total of 48 players have chosen to put themselves in that category. While 20 players have a reserve price of INR 1.5 crore, bids of 34 players will start at INR 1 crore.
IPL 2022 will be a 10-team tournament
It must be noted that IPL 2022 will be a 10-team affair with two new sides – Lucknow and Ahmedabad – coming in the picture. The eight existing teams were asked to retain a maximum of four players ahead of the mega auction. While some sides tried retaining their core, others didn’t use all their cards – seeking a revamp.
As far as the two new sides are concerned, they picked three players apiece from the list of the non-retained players. The remaining names will take part in the auction and hence, the franchises have a lot to brainstorm. Speaking of the breakdown, a total of 370 Indian players and 220 overseas players will be up for grabs in what promises to be an exciting bidding event.
Players from as many as 14 countries will land in the auction pool and it would be interesting to see what the franchise owners have for them. Speaking of the purse, all ten teams were allotted with a purse of INR 90 crore. However, teams have been let with different purse amounts after retaining players. Hence, it will require immense calculation and planning to form a formidable squad with the available amount.
