IPL 2024 Auction: Rules, Base Price, And Full List Of Registered Players. The BCCI asked franchises to provide any additional player requests not listed on the Auction Register. Eligible and interested requested players will be automatically included in the auction.
The IPL 2024 auction, scheduled for December 19 in Dubai, will take place outside India for the first time. A substantial pool of 1166 players has registered, with 25 in the top base price category of Rs 2 crore. However, only 77 slots are available for all ten franchises, including 30 for overseas players. The revelation of the final list of shortlisted players will occur after the franchises submit their choices. The combined spending power of the franchises amounts to a remarkable 262.95 crore.
World Cup standouts including Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Travis Head and Daryl Mitchell are actively seeking placement in the 10-team league. Even Josh Hazlewood, who has some uncertainty regarding his availability, has submitted his name for consideration. Rachin Ravindra, renowned for his impressive batting in the World Cup, is listed at Rs 50 lakh but is expected to command at least 15 to 20 times his base price in the auction. The registration list comprises 830 Indian players, including 18 capped players, and 336 overseas cricketers.

IPL 2024 Auction Rules
The upcoming auction will follow the rules of the previous edition, excluding the use of the Right to Match card. The RTM card, introduced in the 2018 auction, enables a franchise to reacquire a player post his initial acquisition by another team. After thorough deliberation, we decided to abstain from using it.
Franchises cannot acquire players beyond their purse balance. Each team must allocate a minimum of 75% of their total amount. The team size is capped at 25 players, with a mandatory minimum of 18 players per squad. Each franchise can have a maximum of 25 Indian players and a minimum of 17 Indian players. Similarly, the squad has a maximum limit of 8 international players, but it does not impose a minimum requirement on international players.

IPL 2024 Schedule Likely To Reveal After LS Poll Dates
The IPL schedule is pending confirmation from the BCCI, awaiting the Election Commission of India’s announcement of election dates. However, The BCCI has advised franchises to expect the IPL between the third week of March and the third week of May, contingent on election days. Although the preference is for matches in India, logistical adjustments may occur if elections impact operations.
