The much-anticipated IPL 2022 mega-event is expected to take place next month, but the BCCI has yet to make an official announcement. All players who are not retained by the eight franchises and picked by the two new clubs by December 25 will be included in the IPL 2022 super auction. According to sources, the BCCI intends to organise a mega auction for the IPL 2022 in January 2022.
However, a senior BCCI official told the InsideSport website that the IPL 2022 big auction is unlikely to take place before the third week of January. According to sources, the BCCI has previously instructed the franchises to prepare for the IPL 2022 major auction in the first week of January. According to reports, the IPL 2022 mega auction has been postponed due to concerns with the Ahmedabad franchise, and the BCCI wants to address all issues with the Ahmedabad franchise before proceeding with the mega auction.
“We are currently awaiting the verdict of the special committee on CVC’s ownership of the Ahmedabad franchise.” Auction dates cannot be set until or unless this is done. Furthermore, we must provide sufficient time for both the Lucknow and Ahmedbad clubs to complete their three acquisitions before to the IPL Auctions. We don’t expect the auction to take place till the third or fourth week of January,” a BCCI official told the InsideSport website.
CVC Capital won the Ahmedabad franchise in an auction a few weeks earlier in Dubai, however it was then revealed that CVC Capital is involved in sports betting, and their ownership must be cancelled.
