IPL 2020 Auction – Date, Time, Venue, Final Player List, Purse Available, Broadcast and Live Streaming Details

There is always a great buzz whenever an IPL auction is around. Nothing different this time either and there is a great deal of excitement about it already. All the eight teams have gone ahead with different strategies for the upcoming edition as far as the releases and retentions were concerned. As many as 71 players were released by their respective franchises last month.

At the same time, 127 cricketers including 35 overseas players were retained by the teams. While some teams left out quite a few cricketers, a few others preferred maintaining the stability. For the auction that will be held on 19 December 2019, a total of 971 players enrolled their names. These included 215 capped players and 754 uncapped players. A couple of other players are from the associate nations – the USA and the Netherlands.

However, just 73 spots are up for grabs and it will be a cut-throat competition here. The franchises submitted their shortlist of players recently and a total of 332 players are set to go under the hammer in the auction.
