IPL auction on Dec 19

The IPL auction for the 2020 season will be held on December 19 this year and, this time, the venue for the same will be Kolkata instead of Bengaluru.

As per to a report in ESPNcricinfo, this year’s auction is the last small one before franchises disband next year and prepare to assemble fresh squads from 2021.

In 2018, the last big auction took place in January when franchises were allowed to retain five players before building new squads.

The trading window for all the eight franchises will close on November 14.
