The eagerly awaited schedule for IPL 2024 has been unveiled, and fans are buzzing with excitement. While the specific date for the IPL 2024 auction has yet to be confirmed, historical timelines can offer some guidance. To provide context, the IPL 2023 auction was conducted in Bangalore on December 16, 2022, just over three months ahead of the tournament’s commencement. Therefore, it’s reasonable to expect that the IPL 2024 auction might occur towards the end of 2023.

In the IPL, each franchise is granted a budget of Rs 90 crore, enabling them to assemble a formidable squad comprising talent from around the world, including both capped and uncapped Indian players, as well as international stars. While teams aren’t obliged to exhaust the entire Rs 90 crore, regulations stipulate that a minimum of 75% (Rs 60 crore) must be allocated to players. Notably, the top five players could account for 30-40% of a franchise’s expenditure.

The quantity of players featured at an IPL auction isn’t restricted and can fluctuate annually. The volume of players showcased depends on those who register, provided that these players have received approval from their respective cricket boards or countries. These players may hail from capped, uncapped, or associate cricket nations, with no distinction made based on their affiliation.

Nonetheless, IPL teams are constrained in the number of foreign players they can include, capping it at a maximum of eight, of which only four can be fielded in the playing 11.
