With the inclusion of two new teams – Lucknow and Ahmedabad – the Indian Premier League is expected to grow in the coming season. After the second half of the 2021 season was hosted in the UAE owing to the COVID-19 epidemic in the country, the cash-rich league is expected to return to India. The addition of the two additional teams will result in a total of 74 T20 matches in the 15 new teams. The players have already been retained by the original eight franchises, while the new teams – Lucknow and Ahmedabad – are still in the works.
According to a top BCCI official, the two-day blockbuster Indian Premier League auction would be held on February 7 and 8 in Bengaluru. The cricket board, on the other hand, has yet to make an official declaration regarding the IPL auction timetable.
Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, the IPL 2021 finals, are set to kick off the following season on April 2 in Chennai.
