As October comes to an end, cricket enthusiasts around the world are eagerly awaiting the resumption of the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 10 participating teams are ready to reveal their withholdings by the October 31st deadline. Rumors continue to swirl about which players will be retained or released ahead of the mega auction of the 18th T20 franchise tournament.

Adding to the intrigue around retaining teams for IPL 2025 is the uncertainty surrounding several key Indian players. Big names like Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer may move on to other franchises. Last season, Rohit handed over the captaincy of his Mumbai Indians team to Hardik Pandya. Meanwhile, Pant returned to professional cricket after a break, taking on the role of captain of the Delhi Capitals. Shreyas played a key role in Kolkata Knight Riders’ journey to their third IPL title. The destinations of these star players for the upcoming season remain the subject of much speculation.

IPL 2025 Retention: New Rules

Earlier this year, the IPL Governing Council revised the retention rules. The updated policy allows teams to retain a maximum of six players. The final roster must not contain more than five capped players and two uncapped players.

Another important aspect of the new retention rule is the provision that a capped player can be retained as an uncapped cricketer if he has not played an international match in the previous five years. This rule, previously scrapped by the board of directors, was recently reinstated and applies exclusively to Indian players. Its reintroduction sparked controversy, with some speculating that it was designed to help Chennai Super Kings retain MS Dhoni for another season.

The IPL 2025 auction purse has been increased by 20 percent from the previous limit of Rs 100 crore in 2024. The increased purse is Rs 120 crore and the salary cap is set at Rs 146 crore.
