Auction

edit

The auction purse for each franchise is set at 120 crore (US$14 million), the highest in the history of IPL.[33] The salary cap of a player would consist of auction purse, incremental performance pay and match fees. Each playing member (including the Impact player) will get a match fee of 7.5 lakh (US$9,000) in addition to their auctioned price, first such instance in the IPL.[34]

Any overseas player will have to register for the mega-auction. Overseas players failing to register for the mega-auction would be become ineligible to participate in the following year's mini auction as well.[35] If an auctioned player withdraws before the season commences, they would be banned from IPL for the next two years.[36] Any Indian capped player who hasn't played in the starting XI in international cricket (Test, ODI, T20I) in the preceding five calendar years or doesn't have a central contract with the BCCI will become an uncapped player for the auction.[37][38][39][40]
