How retaining players will impact teams’ auction purse
The auction purse for each franchise is fixed at INR 15 crore. The WPL has also provided guideline prices for the retained players. Player 1 will only be signed for INR 3.5 crore, Player 2 at INR 2.5 crore, Player 3 at INR 1.75 crore, Player 4 at INR 1 crore, and Player 5 at INR 50 lakh.
Interestingly, the RTM option is directly linked to the number of players retained by the teams. If a franchise retains five players, it loses the RTM option entirely. Retaining four players leaves one RTM, three players leave two RTMs, two players leave three RTMs, and retaining only one player gives a team four RTMs at the auction table.
However, the WPL franchises can negotiate retention amounts different from the guideline slabs, but any amount higher than the suggested slab will be deducted from the auction purse. A minimum of INR 50 lakh has been set for uncapped Indian players, but the final amount can be higher based on agreements between the franchise and the player.
BCCI set the WPL retention and player registration deadlines
The Women’s Premier League has also set the timeline for the pre-auction process. Retention lists must be submitted by November 5. Franchises then need to share their lists of players available for the auction by November 7. The last date for player registration is November 18, and the BCCI will release the final list of players for the mega auction on November 20.
