“There may (at the Auctioneer’s discretion) be a brief intermission following the completion of each set to give franchises some opportunity to rethink their strategies. The BCCI notice was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying, “The length of each break will be declared by the Auctioneer at the completion of the relevant set.
“After each break, a bell will sound two minutes before the Player Auction resumes. After each break, the Player Auction will immediately resume. It is envisaged that during each hour of the Player Auction proceedings, these brief breaks would last a minimum of 10 minutes “The BCCI note came to an end.
