IPL 2022 - The Premier League Details!

The Indian Premier League is a highly popular annual cricket event, with millions of spectators tuning in each year. The current IPL season is still on hold, but it will return to the UAE in October.

The current IPL season has eight teams made up of Indian and international players. There are 60 games in total, including 56 league games and four playoffs. The 2021 IPL was held behind closed doors, and the fans could only watch the matches live on the internet.

Even though the current season is far from done, the 2022 IPL is already being discussed. There will be many changes in store, as two more franchises will be added to the mix. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already announced the blueprint for the upcoming season, and fans are eager to see how it all plays out.

To the eight franchises’ present pool, two new teams will be added as per the announcement by the BCCI. According to most news outlets, Ahmedabad will receive one franchise, with Lucknow or Kanpur possibly receiving the second.

IPL 2022 Auction Rules

Currently, there isn’t any official word on revisions to the Mega Auction of IPL 2022. But, with the arrival of two new franchises, some changes to the present rules will likely be made.

Retention and RTM Card

Under the new rules, a franchise can only keep four players. Three Indian players and one abroad player, or two Indian players and two overseas players, make up the four players.

The board has also said that all players will be auctioned from the Auction table, except those who have been kept. With the help of the Mumbai Indians as an example, we will be able to comprehend.

Rohit Sharma (Captain), Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Kieron Pollard / Trent Boult are all players the franchise would like to keep. Except for these four players, all other Mumbai cricketers will head to the auction table, where the bids will determine their next franchise.

Total Prize Pool

In IPL 2022’s Mega Auction, every franchise’s total purse value could be increased. Franchises could only spend INR 85 crores on players in the IPL 2021, but the BCCI should raise the cap this time.

Each franchise's total purse worth has been enhanced from INR 85 crores to INR 90 crores. The purse value will also increase in the next two years, according to the board. In IPL 2023, it will cost INR 95 crores, while in IPL 2024, it will cost around INR 100 crores.

Changes to IPL 2022 Window & Schedule

Due to the addition of the two new franchises, the ipl 2022 schedule window will be extended. The overall number of games will exceed 90, and it might be impossible to complete them all during the months of March and May.

The BCCI could follow the same process that was used for the IPL 2011 games. Teams were sorted into groups, and each team first played inside its own group before moving on to play with teams from other groups.

Maximum Number of Players Per Team

Until recently, each IPL team has been allowed to sign a maximum of 25 players and a minimum of 18 players (local and international), although this number could rise.
