IPL 2025 auction will most likely to be held in Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, as stated in a Cricbuzz report, with Dubai in the UAE still on the list but BCCI likes to avoid it. The big event won’t take place in India this time. It also won’t be in Dubai, where the IPL 2024 mini-auction was held. The big auction will take place first time since last held before the IPL 2022 season. There will be a large number of top players up for grabs. According to the new IPL rules, teams can retain up to 6 players from their current squad. The right-to-match (RTM) option is back for the mega auction. The uncapped player rule says that any Indian player who has retired or hasn’t played for India in the last five years can be considered uncapped.
