As the countdown to the IPL 2025 mega auction begins, the contours of the marquee event are starting to take shape. While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to finalize the retention rules, the franchises have already begun lobbying for changes.

In a recent development, a franchise has reportedly suggested that teams be allowed to increase the salaries of players who deliver exceptional performances during the tournament. The proposal aims to reward outstanding talent and deter poaching by rival teams.

The current system sees players bought at a fixed price for a specific period. The proposed change would allow franchises to offer improved terms to players who significantly contribute to their team’s success.

For instance, if a player bought for INR 30 lakhs exhibits exceptional form, their team could potentially offer them a fresh contract with a higher salary.

However, the BCCI is yet to officially comment on this proposal. The cricket board is scheduled to meet with franchise owners to discuss the format of the upcoming auction and other related matters. The final decision on player salary increments is likely to be taken after careful consideration of all aspects.
