IPL Auction in Riyadh Set for November 24-25 Amid Scheduling Conflicts

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction is expected to take place on November 24 and 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet confirmed the dates or location, sources indicate that arrangements are nearly finalized.

IPL Auction to Conflict with First Test Against Australia 

The auction dates overlap with India’s first Test match against Australia. This match is scheduled from November 22 to 26 in Perth. Disney Star, which holds broadcast rights for both events, aims to avoid direct conflicts. Fortunately, the time difference may help. If the auction occurs in the afternoon (IST), it should not clash with the match broadcasts.

Given this move outside India, IPL franchises urge the BCCI to finalize details quickly. Teams need ample time for travel and logistical arrangements. The retention deadline was October 31, and teams have already finalized their player lists before focusing on the auction.
