MUMBAI: From a total auction purse of Rs 900 cr, of which Rs 384.5 cr has been spent by franchises already in retaining cricketers or drafting them in, a balance of Rs 515.5 cr is waiting to be used this weekend. In the fray are 590 cricketers who make for a pruned list from a total of 1,214 who had registered.
The IPL 2022 mega auction of players will start at 11 am in Bangalore on Saturday and will continue the next day. The list has been pruned based on who the franchises want mentioned by the auctioneer when the process begins. Even if one franchise mentions a player, the name must get included in the auction list.
