Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu make big statements on IPL 2025 Retention Policy, want BCCI to…
The BCCI is yet to announce the retention policy for IPL 2025. The IPL had allowed the teams to retain up to four players in the last mega auction held in 2022.
New Delhi: Former India cricketers Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu have weighed on the premise of upper player retentions in the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction as an unchanged core allows a franchise to excel on this planet’s biggest T20 competition. The BCCI is yet to come to a decision on the retention policy for IPL 2025 and reports are to be believed, it may come every time by the end of this month.
The IPL had allowed the teams to retain as much as four players in the last mega auction held in 2022. A three-year cycle has ended and any other mega auction is on the horizon but teams have contrasting views on player retention. Some want as many as eight and some are okay with four or five. The IPL Governing Council is yet to come to a decision on the matter.
“In my view I believe retentions must be a lot more because a franchise invests a lot on player, the core of the team is what makes every team unique in the IPL so me the longer the core remains the culture of the team remains,” said Rayudu, who may perhaps be turning up for Konark Suryas Odisha in the Legends League Cricket starting place September 20.
“There is likely to be a tremendous chance of success. Retentions must be and there needs be lot of retentions. It be going to’t be one or two. Each of the important players must be retained,” added Rayudu. Sitting alongside Rayudu, Raina may now not agree more along with his former Chennai Super Kings teammate.
“I a hundred percenttrust Rayudu. The mega auction must be every three years. The IPL Governing Council will do what is healthier for the sport,” said Raina.
