IPL 2025 mega auction: There are still many months left for the start of IPL 2025, but the discussion about it has already started among cricket lovers. The reason for the 18th edition being in the news is the mega auction to be held this year. Nothing has been confirmed by the BCCI about the retention rules yet. According to the secret talks going on between the franchise owners and officials of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may postpone its announcement regarding retention this month.

According to Cricbuzz: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to make the retention decision public at the BCCI Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Bengaluru on September 29.

For your information, let us tell you that there is no direct connection between AGM and IPL policies, that is, BCCI can surprise everyone by revealing the retention rules in a few days. According to news reports: BCCI officials have indicated a delay to the franchises that have contacted BCCI regarding IPL retention.

Initially it was believed that BCCI will announce the policy by the end of August but according to the latest news, now its decision can come in the end of September.
