As many as 76 players, including 28 from overseas, will be up for grabs at the 2017 IPL auction to be held in Bengaluru on February 20,2017
The BCCI announced the auction date on Friday, the last day of player registration.
The auction was originally proposed for February 4, but was delayed in the wake of the Supreme Court order that led to an administrative crisis in the BCCI with its President Anurag Thakur and Secretary Ajay Shirke being removed for not implementing the Lodha panel recommendations.
The committee of BCCI administrators is now in place, and one of their immediate tasks is to fast-track the preparations for the IPL beginning April 05,20177777777777777777777777777777777777777
In a press release, the BCCI said 750 players have registered for the auction.
“The IPL franchises will go into the player auction with a maximum of ₹143.33 crore purse for 2017 season. The teams can have a maximum of 27 players, including nine overseas players.
A maximum of 76 players, including 28 overseas, can be bought at the auction,” the statement read.
