In advance of the IPL 2023 mini auction on December 23 in Kochi, the 10 Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises are required to submit their Retention Lists to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) just a few days after the conclusion of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Before the Retention Day deadline on November 15 at 5 p.m., the Kolkata Knight Riders lost Australian ODI captain Pat Cummins and England batsman Sam Billings, who both decided not to play in the IPL 2023. Before finalising their Retention List, Preity Zinta-owned Punjab Kings have the largest purse, at Rs 8.45 crore, while debutants Lucknow Super Giants have the smallest, at Rs 5 crore.

However, the ten teams can increase this sum by either transferring players between franchises during the transfer window or releasing some players prior to the Retention Day deadline. So far, three players have been officially traded: Lockie Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz from IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans to Kolkata Knight Riders and Jason Behrendorff from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Mumbai Indians.

Ravindra Jadeja, a former captain of the Chennai Super Kings, was thought to be on the move, but MS Dhoni’s team decided to keep the all-rounder while letting go of Chris Jordan, Adam Milne, and Mitchell Santner before the Retention Day deadline.
