IPL 2024: List of player trades and rumours ahead of auction

With the ICC ODI World Cup on the horizon for international cricket teams, the focus shifts to T20 World Cup next year for most of them. Before that, there is also the matter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction which will decide squads for the 17th edition of the tournament.

IPL mini-auction, scheduled to take place on 19 December in Dubai, will see franchises iron out their teams for IPL 2024. There is no clarity on when the IPL will take place next year.

Ahead of the mini-auction, the IPL trade window is open which allows franchises to swap players with others or buy players outrightly in all-cash deals.

The last date for player retention is 26 November at 4 PM IST.

So far, three trade deals have been completed. Romario Shepherd has been the only cash-deal with Devdutt Padikkal and Avesh Khan swapping teams ahead of the upcoming season.
