The Indian Premier League confirmed that this year's player auction will take place in India, marking a return after previous overseas venues.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the upcoming IPL player auction will be conducted on Indian soil, ending a period when the event was staged abroad.
The decision was disclosed in an official statement, signalling that franchises will now gather in India to bid for both domestic and overseas talent ahead of the tournament.
While the exact venue and date have not been revealed, the auction is expected to be held before the start of the 2024 IPL season, allowing teams to finalize their squads in time.
Industry observers anticipate that holding the auction in India will boost local business activity and enhance media coverage of the league's player market.
