The eight teams have to submit their list on Tuesday
The eight existing Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises will submit their player-retention list on Tuesday for the next edition.
They are allowed to retain a maximum of four, while the two new franchises — Lucknow and Ahmedabad — can acquire three from the rest of the player pool before the January auction.
The salary purse for the IPL auction has been set at ₹90 crore per team, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has clarified that the existing teams can pick a maximum of three Indian players — capped or uncapped. A maximum of two overseas and two uncapped Indian players can be part of the four retentions.
