IPL Players’ draft to be held in Mumbai on Tuesday Dec 15 ,2015

The IPL Players’ draft to allow two new franchises based in Pune and Rajkot pick 10 players of their choice will be held at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s clubhouse in the Bandra-Kurla Complex on December 15.,2015

Pune will be given the choice to pick the players first because they were the lowest bidders (negative bids) to buy the new team for two years.

The cricketers from the two suspended franchises will be divided into two groups of capped and uncapped and the top names will be sold through the draft system.

The two new teams will have a minimum of Rs. 40 crore and a maximum of Rs. 66 crore to buy players.

The 9th edition of the IPL is scheduled from April 9 to May 29, 2016


Note
The bidding process for the two new franchises was necessitated by the suspension of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for the involvement of some of their officials and co-owners in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, which was probed by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice (Retd) R.M. Lodha committee.
However, both the CSK and RR will be allowed back in the league after serving out their suspension
