IPL teams have two more days to decide their squads for the 2027 season. The BCCI has moved the player retention deadline from November 15 to November 17.
The board informed all franchises about the change on Monday. Teams can now take more time to decide who stays and who goes.
The mini-auction will still be held in Goa on December 16. There is no change to the auction date or venue.
India-New Zealand ODI behind the extension of IPL 2027 retention
India will play the fifth ODI against New Zealand on November 15. The match will take place at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
This is understood to be the reason behind the BCCI’s decision. The board has given franchises two extra days to complete their plans.
There will also be an international match on auction day. India are scheduled to face Sri Lanka in the second ODI at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium on December 16.
Despite this clash, the BCCI has kept the auction date unchanged.
