Highlights:
- Many big names were not retained by IPL franchises as all the 10 teams released the full list of players for 2023 season.
- All-rounder Dwayne Bravo’s 11-year association with IPL giant Chennai Super Kings came to an end on Tuesday.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad dropped star batter Kane Williamson in ahead of the lucrative mini-auction.
The 10 Indian Premier League (IPL) teams were scheduled to submit their Retention List to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) within a few days of the conclusion of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia before the IPL 2023 mini-auction on December 23 in Kochi. Sam Billings of England and Pat Cummins of Australia left Kolkata Knight Riders before the Retention Day deadline at 5 p.m. on November 15 because they both intended to skip the IPL in 2023.
The Punjab Kings, which are co-owned by Preity Zinta, have the highest budget before finalising their Retention List at Rs 8.45 crore, while the Lucknow Super Giants, who are making their IPL 2022 debuts, have the lowest budget at Rs 5 crore.
