Indian Premier League teams can retain up to 4 players in the lead up to the mega auction for IPL 2022, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has conveyed in a letter to the franchises. The two new teams who will be part of the next season will be allowed to pick 3 players before the auction.

A source close to the board confirmed the developments to India Today on Saturday. The existing 8 franchises will be allowed to retain their players between November 1 and 30 while the two new teams can pick 3 players from the released list of players or elsewhere from December 1. The deadline for picking the set of 3 players for the new teams is December 25.

The 8 existing teams can’t retain more than 3 Indian players (capped or uncapped) while they can’t retain more than 2 overseas players. Meanwhile, the two new teams can pick a maximum of 2 Indian players after the players are retained by the existing franchises. No more than one uncapped player can be picked by them.

Meanwhile, the maximum purse for all 8 teams has been fixed at Rs 90 crore each.

If a team retains 4 players, then a total of Rs 42 crore will be deducted from their purse with the top player getting Rs 15 crore.

If a team retains 3 players, then Rs 33 crore will be cut from its purse.

For 2 players, Rs 14 crore and Rs 10 crore have to be shelled out while teams retaining only one player have to pay Rs 14 crore to him.

Sanjiv Goenka-helmed RPSG Group came up with a winning bid of a whopping INR 7090 crore and picked Lucknow as its home base. CVC Capital, former owners of Formula One, came up with the second-highest bid of INR 5625 crore and opted for Ahmedabad during Monday’s bidding in Dubai. Notably, RPSG Group also owned the Rising Pune Supergiant franchise between 2016 and 2017.

Nokia T20, which is HMD’s first tablet that runs on Android, is headed to India. According to a report, Flipkart has begun teasing the Nokia tablet in its Big Diwali Sale section, which means the launch is imminent. But, interestingly, Flipkart has listed the tablet as Nokia Tab T20, while the original name of the tablet is just Nokia T20. This may mean that HMD is thinking of an oversimplified name just to make Indian buyers understand what Nokia T20 is, which sounds about right. But I am not too sure about Flipkart’s name for the tablet because they are there mostly as placeholders. MySmartPrice has shared a screenshot of the listing of the Nokia Tab T20 on Flipkart. F...
