Update: 4 January 2022
IPL is a hub for players to debut and shine on the cricket platform. Franchises always try to seek players who are new but have already cemented themselves as good cricketers. When we talk about the club cricketers globally, many players play the Big Bash, Pakistan Premier League, CPL, etc. Then there are a few players who play domestic cricket in India.
All these cricket leagues provide a good platform for the budding players to shine and get noticed by the IPL franchises, and eventually, they get the opportunity to play in the IPL.
VIVO IPL 2021 ended on October 15. IPL 2022 will see two new teams getting added. As a result, there will be an addition of 50 new players ( per franchise 25 players, max 8 overseas) in the IPL mega auction.
This will provide a golden opportunity for the players to come to the limelight of the IPL franchise. Even if they perform moderately in their respective club cricket, they can still fancy their chance to get picked in the upcoming mega auction.
