Ahead of the 2025 season, every Indian Premier League team is ready for the Mega Auction. One development that was probably brought up during the July 31 IPL Governing Council meeting was players failing to report to the league after being selected. Owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kavya Maran, gave direct response highlighting the problem and expressed the opinion that players should be suspended if their absence isn’t due to injury.
Several English players left the IPL 2024 early to return home, citing obligations to their countries. Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Jos Buttler, and Sam Buttler returned for a series against Pakistan. Additionally, Wanindu Hasaranga, a spinner from Sri Lanka, was signed by SRH for INR 1.5 crore. The player withdrew from the league citing an injury, a move that was not well received by management.
“A player should be banned if, after being chosen in the auction, he is unable to participate for any reason other than injury during the season. The franchises worked very hard to put together their combinations for the auction. The combination and balance of the side are impacted if a player bids a low price in the auction and then withdraws. For this reason, international players have frequently failed to show up, according to Kavya, who was cited by.

According to a number of sources, the teams are attempting to raise the four-to six-year player retention cap. It was also suggested that teams exploit the Right to Match (RTM) regulation more effectively to establish claims on important players. Kavya added to the requests, stating that teams ought to be able to determine their own salaries for players who are kept on, as opposed to the previous set norm that said salaries should go from INR 16 crore to INR 6 crore in descending order.
“The decision on how to distribute the money among the players that were retained should be left up to the franchise. This will avoid awkward scenarios in which two players, believing themselves to be of equal skill, get different amounts because of pre-assigned brackets. Additionally, the possibility of off-contract payments will be eliminated,” she continued.
