The two new franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have been asked to submit their pre-auction signings by Jan. 22.
A day after the IPL Governing Council formally approved Lucknow and Ahmedabad as the ninth and the tenth IPL franchises, the IPL executives on Wednesday communicated the deadline to the promoters of both the franchises.
As a result, each franchise will have to submit names of a maximum of three players by 5 p.m. on Jan. 22. The Lucknow promoters are understood to have offered K.L. Rahul the captaincy, Hardik Pandya is the front-runner to lead the Ahmedabad franchise. The biggest tussle, however, is over Rashid Khan, who is being chased by both the teams.
